The composition shows a group of nude and semi-nude figures working with their backs to the viewer, gathering nets and ropes alongside classic boats beached on the shore. Under a sky crossed by the rhythmic flight of seagulls and in front of a mountainous horizon, Draper's vibrant and expressive line connects directly with the aesthetic heritage of classicism and Catalan \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"522\"\u003eNoucentisme\u003c\/i\u003e, elevating the daily labor of fishermen to the category of visual myth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe genesis of the edition: The demand of the \"Bon à Tirer\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eThe immense historical weight of this work lies in its workshop cataloging.

This valuable notation reveals the author's technical demands, who requests a more thorough cleaning (wiping) of the plate in areas such as the sky and sea to remove the superficial ink veil, seeking to maximize the luminosity and pure whites of the paper in the final commercial edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eWHY IS THIS PIECE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUR COLLECTION?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDocumentary Rarity (The B.A.T. copy):\u003c\/b\u003e In the original print market, there is only one \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"13,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"109\"\u003eBon à Tirer\u003c\/i\u003e copy per edition.
