"Hevva! Hevva!" is an 1889 oil painting by British artist Percy Robert Craft, depicting a scene from the traditional Cornish fishing practice known as "hevva," or "huer's call." The painting captures the moment when a huer, a lookout, spots a shoal of pilchards and calls out to the fishermen with the cry of "Hevva! Hevva!" to signal the location of the fish. This would prompt the fishermen to set sail and cast their nets.

Craft's work is characterized by its attention to detail and historical accuracy, reflecting the artist's interest in the customs and daily life of coastal communities. The painting is noted for its dynamic composition and the vivid portrayal of the Cornish seascape, with the huer prominently positioned on a cliff, arms raised, against the backdrop of the expansive sea and sky. The fishermen's response to the call, their hurried preparations, and the sense of urgency are effectively conveyed through the artist's skillful use of color and light.

The painting serves as an important cultural artifact, preserving a visual record of a traditional practice that was once integral to the economy and social fabric of Cornwall. "Hevva! Hevva!" by Percy Robert Craft is celebrated for its artistic merit as well as its contribution to the documentation of maritime heritage. It is a testament to the enduring relationship between the people of Cornwall and the sea, encapsulating a moment of communal effort and anticipation in the face of the bountiful yet unpredictable marine environment.
