Otto Leyde, Digging for Shellfish - Antique Etching

19th century
Description

This relaxed coastal scene by British-Prussian artist, Otto Leyde (1835-1897), depicts a satisfied young man dressed in ragged clothes. He’s carrying a shovel over his shoulder following a long day digging for shellfish.

Leyde’s portrayals often highlight the lives of local workers within Scottish fishing communities. Fishermen haul nets onto steep shingle beaches, young ladies carry baskets laden with herring, and families rest within rustic interiors.

This charming etching would bring depth and interest to a corner of your home, particularly a property with a sea view.

Framed and glazed.
