"The Old Fishmonger” is a poignant pointillist portrait capturing the quiet dignity of a weathered fish seller. With a turbaned head, sunken eyes, and a thoughtful gaze, the elderly man rests his arms over a basket brimming with freshly caught fish. The meticulous dotwork reveals every wrinkle and muscle, speaking of years of labor and resilience. Set against a stark background, the artwork honors the simplicity and strength of rural life, portraying the man as both a survivor and a silent storyteller of the sea.
