A single cod hangs from a weathered wooden drying rack on a stone beach, painted in the classical realist tradition. Careful light falls from the left, deepening the cool grey shadows and warming the ochre tones of the fish and wood. Shown whole, with quiet depth behind the rack, this still study captures the timeless rhythm of the coastal fishery.
