The work was one of a series of 35 oil paintings that Courbet produced in quick succession during the fall of 1865. Unlike many other marine paintings of that time, the boat is the central feature of the composition rather than a minor element. The Fishing Boat was the first work by Courbet to enter the Met's collection when it was acquired in 1899.[1]
