About this work

A dramatic scene shows a group of men in a wooden rowing boat hauling at a rope while a naked swimmer reaches toward them, pursued by a large shark with open jaws. A harbor filled with masted ships and a distant city skyline appear under a pale, cloudy sky. This is John Singleton Copley's 1778 work titled A Remarkable Occurrence in the Life of Brook Watson.
