Description "The Young fisherman with his catch" is an ancient fresco that was discovered by archaeologists on the Greek island of Santorini. It was painted in 1650 BC by a Minoan artist living in the Bronze Age city of Akrotiri. 
The fresco depicts a young man wearing a blue cap (and nothing else) and holding a bountiful catch of Mediterranean fish.
I tried to doodle this fun little character in my own art style. 

Fun fact he caught a bunch of Mahi-mahi (Coryphaena hippurus) yum!
