An original, brightly coloured depiction of 18th-century fishermen and peasant women in Barletta by Jakob Philipp Hackert. In the foreground a fisherman on the quay is talking with two peasant women, one of whom carries a laundry basket on her head. Beside them is a "scugnizzo" (street urchin) with a second fisherman. The day is fine and the mood is cheerful. The colours of the sea show a shade of dark blue, slightly lighter towards the shore.
The painting is on display at the National Museum of San Martino & Certosa, Naples.
