Edgard Farasijn was a Belgian artist who painted figures, animals and seascapes. He became particularly well known for his market scenes and pictures of the seashore with fishermen, for which he took his inspiration from the coastal regions of Flanders and Holland. Between 1898 and 1913 he made several trips to Katwijk to paint the local fisherfolk. At times Farasijn preferred to evoke a dreamy, slightly melancholy mood over the precise rendering of a subject.
