The Boat Trip: The Cabin Boy Fishing (Line Fishing) is a 1861 by Charles François Daubigny, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white sketch shows a small boat on a choppy river. Inside, a person sits in the cabin, holding a fishing rod. Outside, another person stands at the bow, also fishing. In the distance, trees line the shore and a building with a tall spire appears. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement in the water. The boat looks simple but full of life. Look up Charles François Daubigny next to see more of his work.
