Copy of a print, three men in boat pulling a figure from the water

The subject probably relates to the Bible text, Matthew 4:19.

18. As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon (called Peter), and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 

19."Come, follow Me", Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." 

20. And at once they left their nets and followed Him.
