Provenance:
Swiss private collection, acquired in the 1950s/60s in Italy and by descent to the present owners.
After leaving Russia in 1922, Gorbatoff spent most of his time in Italy until the early 1930s. Italy remained the main subject of his work thereafter. Gorbatoff's depiction of fishing boats at sea gained popularity through its reproduction in Velhagen & Klasing's Monatshefte in 1925/26. Later, the artist returned to this motif again and again.
