Fishermen loading their goods on a horse

1785. Oil on canvas.
On display elsewhere

The artist executed this painting based on a sketch on canvas by Mariano Salvador Maella (1739-1819), which remains in the collection of National Heritage (PN-10042003).

This painting belongs to a collection of paperboard for the tapestries destined to decorate the rooms of the Princes of Asturias in the Palace of El Pardo in Madrid. A series of ten designs with seafaring themes were commissioned for the Ladies´ Piece in the Princess´s Room, this being one of them. The tapestry made from this paperboard is currently in the Room leading to the Chapel of the Palace of El Pardo.
