About this Item

The artwork titled THE YOUNG SHRIMPERS is a steel engraving from 1849, created by A. Willmore and based on an original painting by W. Collins, R.A. This evocative scene portrays a group of children engaged in shrimp fishing along a tidal shoreline. The central figures, consisting of two young boys and a girl, stand on a rocky patch with nets and a basket, embodying the industrious spirit and innocence of childhood. The backdrop features a rugged coastal cliff, a small harbor with docked ships, and a wide expanse of serene water reflecting the soft light of a cloudy sky. The engraving meticulously captures the textural details of the children's attire, the rocky shoreline, and the distant landscape, showcasing Willmore's exceptional skill in translating Collins's painting into print. William Collins, a Royal Academician, was renowned for his depictions of children and rural life, often combining sentimentality with naturalistic detail. This piece reflects 19th-century Romantic ideals, emphasizing the harmony between humanity and nature and celebrating the simplicity of rural existence.
