In this painting Jesus is depicted with quiet grace, preparing a meal of fish over a small fire on the shore, as the calm waters stretch out before Him. Peter, a beloved disciple, approaches Him with fishing boats in the background. The simple act of cooking fish speaks to Jesus' care and provision, a moment of intimate fellowship after His resurrection, where He offers both sustenance and communion to His disciples. By the Shore captures the quiet intimacy of a moment where Jesus lovingly tends to the needs of His followers, inviting them into His presence, ready to share in the joy and restoration He offers.
