"A Fishergirl, Newlyn" is a notable painting by the British artist Stanhope Alexander Forbes, completed in 1885. Forbes, often referred to as the father of the Newlyn School, was a prominent figure in the late 19th-century British art scene. The Newlyn School was an artist colony based in the fishing village of Newlyn, Cornwall, and was known for its focus on realism and the depiction of rural life.

The painting captures a young fishergirl standing on the rocky shore, with the sea and sky forming a dramatic backdrop. Forbes' meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey the textures of the girl's clothing, the rugged coastline, and the atmospheric conditions of the scene are hallmarks of his style. The fishergirl, with her contemplative expression and sturdy stance, embodies the resilience and hardiness of the local fishing community.

Forbes' work is celebrated for its authenticity and its empathetic portrayal of the working-class people of Cornwall. "A Fishergirl, Newlyn" is no exception, as it reflects the artist's deep engagement with his subjects and his commitment to depicting their lives with dignity and respect. The painting is also notable for its use of natural light and its subtle yet rich color palette, which enhance the realism and emotional depth of the scene.

The painting is housed in the Penlee House Gallery and Museum in Penzance, Cornwall, which holds a significant collection of works by Forbes and other Newlyn School artists. "A Fishergirl, Newlyn" remains an important example of Forbes' contribution to British art and his role in the development of the Newlyn School, which continues to be celebrated for its impact on the representation of rural and maritime life in art.
