Important Notice
This is a timed auction, with all bidding taking place via these online pages. There is no auctioneer. Each lot has its own scheduled end time (indicated next to each lot). If a bid is placed in the last few minutes before the lot end time, the clock will extend by two minutes to allow bidding to continue.

The best way to bid is to place the maximum you would be willing to spend and let the computer do the rest. If no one else places a bid, you will win the lot for the reserve. If other bids are placed, the system will raise your bid amount to the increment above the next highest bid, until your maximum bid is exceeded. This is called proxy bidding. You will receive emails when your bid has increased in value or when you have been outbid.

There is something very Zen like in the quiet concentration with which this solitary fisherman sits mending his nets. 

The artist has set up his easel on a calm sunny day in a fishing community on the Swedish coast. Loosely painted in oils, it always amazes me what can be conveyed visually by a few strokes of oil paint.

Probably in the 1960s or early 70s judging by the frame style, although an off the shelf or 'chop' moulding it would have been one of the most expensive framing options in its day.
