"Bahama Sponge Fishermen" is a watercolor painting by George Pearse Ennis (1884–1936), an American artist known for his contributions to the American watercolor movement in the early 20th century. Ennis, who was also an influential teacher and writer on art theory, often depicted scenes of labor and industry, capturing the essence of working life in various environments. "Bahama Sponge Fishermen" is a testament to this theme, showcasing the artist's skill in portraying the toils of sponge fishermen in the Bahamas.

The painting is characterized by its vibrant use of color and dynamic composition, which brings to life the arduous and traditional occupation of sponge fishing—a significant industry in the Bahamas during the early 1900s. Ennis's work not only reflects the physical labor involved in sponge fishing but also provides a glimpse into the cultural and economic importance of the industry to the Bahamian people.

As a notable work within Ennis's oeuvre, "Bahama Sponge Fishermen" exemplifies his ability to blend realism with the expressive qualities of watercolor. The painting is celebrated for its depiction of natural light and the translucent qualities of the sea, which are hallmarks of Ennis's mastery of the medium. The artwork captures a moment in time, preserving the legacy of a maritime tradition that has since undergone significant changes due to ecological and economic factors.

"Bahama Sponge Fishermen" is held in high regard by art historians and critics for its contribution to American watercolor painting and for its historical representation of an industry that has shaped the identity and livelihood of the Bahamian people. The painting is often cited in discussions of Ennis's work and is considered an important piece within the context of early 20th-century American art.
