The painting represents a scene from the everyday life of fishermen and the composition exudes dynamic. It can be included in the “miniature style” of the Dalmatian painter, which was formed during the artist's stay in Kulina at the foot of Jastrebac, between 1925 and 1927. Kilometres away from his homeland and “trapped” in a rugged mountain area, Ignjat Job dreamed of the sun-bathed Mediterranean homeland. Small-format oil paintings on wooden panels date from this period, depicting scenes from coastal life, created by using the “colors of the Mediterranean”, which is also the case with Fishermen.
