Landscape with a fisherman

Whistler, James McNeill, 1834-1903 · 1861

In the foreground at the right, near a large tree on the border of a river, a man stands with fishing-rod in hand, about to cast. In the stream, in front is a large stake and near the farther bank is a boat with a single mast. In the distance is a row of trees, beyond a level meadow, and at the extreme left men and a horse are towing a boat. There are clouds in the sky. In the right lower corner "Whistler, 1861."
