Person Mending Net in Village

A northern fishing village under an aurora. Green and violet light sweeps across a star-filled sky above snow-covered peaks, and the fjord below holds the colour in long reflections. Timber houses in red, yellow, blue and green step down the rocky slope, their windows lit, with drying racks and sheds between them. Fishing boats lie at the wooden jetties — Sea Star, Aurora and a red one lettered Reykjavik — and waterfalls drop from the cliffs on the right. In the foreground a man in a knitted sweater and cap sits on the dock mending a net, floats and crates beside him, rope coiled on the boards. Painted houses, dark water and the banded sky each keep their own register, so the picture separates into three clear working areas.
