Mending the Nets.
1925.
oil on canvas.

This piece has the same provenance as The Jug Vendor.

According to correspondence from King Couper in 1984, the subject of this painting operated a tourist boat concession at the Rocky Neck Artists’ Colony in Gloucester, Mass. and was reputed to have been a Civil War veteran. If this is true, and if he sat for the painting in 1925, he would have been 70-80 years old at the time.

King recalled that he and John Adger Law, Jr. would drive his mother up to Gloucester in an open Model T Ford after school closed for the summer.
