"Fishing Boats on the Scheldt" is a 19th-century oil painting by Dutch-British marine artist Abraham Hulk Senior (1813–1897). Known for his seascapes and depictions of ships, Hulk captured the bustling activity and serene beauty of the Scheldt River, a historically significant waterway that flows through France, Belgium, and the Netherlands before emptying into the North Sea.

The painting is characteristic of Hulk's attention to detail and his ability to convey the interplay of light and water. In "Fishing Boats on the Scheldt," he illustrates the daily life of fishermen with a realism that also evokes a sense of romanticism associated with maritime life. The composition typically features an array of fishing vessels, with their sails billowing in the wind, set against a backdrop of the expansive river and a distant horizon, often under a luminous sky that reflects Hulk's skill in rendering atmospheric effects.

Abraham Hulk Senior was part of the Hague School, a group of artists who were influenced by the Realist movement and who often depicted the Dutch rural landscape and the country's waterways. His works are collected and exhibited in various art galleries and museums, and they continue to be appreciated for their contribution to marine art and for providing a visual record of 19th-century maritime activity.

"Fishing Boats on the Scheldt" not only showcases Hulk's artistic prowess but also serves as a historical document of the period's fishing industry and the vital role that rivers like the Scheldt played in the economy and culture of the region. The painting remains a testament to Hulk's legacy as a marine artist and to the enduring allure of the maritime genre in European art history.
