This vibrant, large-format original oil painting by celebrated South African artist Corry Larsen captures a bustling scene of fishermen at work in a harbor, likely inspired by the Cape Town waterfront. Executed in Larsen’s signature expressionistic style, the work features bold, bright colors and a heavy impasto technique, where layers of paint are applied with a brush or palette knife to create a rich, tactile texture. Measuring 93cm x 78cm (including the classic gold-toned frame), the piece is in good condition with the paint surface appearing stable and the colors remaining exceptionally vivid. Larsen, who studied under the mentorship of Pieter Millard, is highly regarded for her ability to infuse everyday South African scenes—from District Six to the V&A Waterfront—with a dramatic sense of movement and light. Her works are held in prominent private and corporate collections both locally and abroad, making this a quintessential example of contemporary South African art.
