The Fisherman [Fresco](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Fresco/) from [Akrotiri](https://www.worldhistory.org/thera/) on the [Aegean](https://www.worldhistory.org/aegean/) island of [Thera](https://www.worldhistory.org/thera/) (Santorini). The male may actually be a youth offering fish as part of a religious ceremony rather than a fisherman. From Room 5 of the West House, c. 17th century BCE.
