Manoj Dutta captures a fisherman performing his routine early morning business after having procured a decent quantity of fish. With the lunar night's rich, layered background framing the wee hours’ scene, the man's thoughtful and serene countenance holds the central grasp of the painting. A tree filled with fruit extends its limbs, which signify hope and promises. Tremendously detailed scales shine on every fish near his feet, while traditional patterns decorate the border. Dutta's appreciation of the commonplace is evident, transforming an ordinary event into a celebration of the beauty of existence.
