The scene captures a group of hardworking fishermen diligently drying their nets against the backdrop of an ancient castle. Murray's exquisite charcoal drawing technique brings out every intricate detail, showcasing her mastery in capturing both the essence of nature and human activity. The use of charcoal and stumping with brush and black ink on ivory wove paper adds depth and texture to this remarkable artwork.
