morsure, An engraving on copper. A fisher sits on a low quay repairing a torn net, drawing a short length of cord through an opening while a second loop hangs loosely from his other hand. He is an older adult in a wool cap, sturdy trousers, and a weathered jacket, with a posture shaped by years of working close to the water. Compose the scene horizontally, placing him in the near left corner and allowing the net to spread across the foreground toward the right. Each visible loop should connect naturally to the surrounding mesh. A small boat is tied beside the quay, its bow rising just beyond his shoulder. Farther away, a quiet harbor curves toward a row of simple buildings and a lighthouse barely taller than the distant roofs. Late afternoon light catches the cord, his cheek, and the damp stones near his boots. Leave a broad passage of still water between the foreground activity and the distant shore. His concentration should feel unhurried. The image celebrates maintenance and continuity, the patient work that makes tomorrow's departure possible.
