In this tondo, the foreground is dominated by a fishing scene.
The fishermen's activities take place close to the wooded riverbank where more small figures can be seen. This painting was part of a collection of 117 works belonging to the industrialist and engineer F.D. Lycett Green and bequeathed to York through the Art Fund, in 1955, in recognition of the remarkable efforts made after the Second World War by its curator to transform it into a gallery of international importance.
