"Fixing The Sail" (Norwegian: "Syende seil") is an 1887 painting by the Norwegian realist artist Christian Krohg, who was a leading figure in the transition from romanticism to naturalism in Norwegian art. The painting is a prime example of Krohg's commitment to depicting the everyday lives and struggles of ordinary people, particularly those living in coastal communities.

The artwork portrays a fisherman's wife mending a sail, a task that was common for women in fishing villages. The scene is set against the backdrop of a modest interior, with the woman's attention intently focused on her work. The composition reflects the themes of diligence, the role of women in supporting the household, and the interdependence of family members in the face of economic hardship.

Krohg's technique in "Fixing The Sail" is characterized by his use of naturalistic detail and subdued color palette, which emphasizes the somber mood and the resilience of the subject. The painting's realistic portrayal is in line with Krohg's artistic philosophy, which was influenced by his social consciousness and desire to use art as a means to comment on social issues of the time.

"Fixing The Sail" is considered an important work in Christian Krohg's oeuvre and in the canon of Norwegian art history. It is often cited as an example of Krohg's skill in capturing the essence of Norwegian coastal life in the late 19th century, as well as his empathy for the working class. The painting is held in the collection of the National Gallery of Norway, highlighting its significance in the nation's cultural heritage.

As an influential piece, "Fixing The Sail" continues to be studied and admired for its technical mastery and its poignant reflection of the human condition, offering insight into the historical context of the period and the lives of those who lived it.
