Fishing is a 1864 by Charles Jacque, a Impressionism work, depicting fishing, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a quiet river scene with two boats. One boat holds two men mending nets while the other floats empty. The riverbank has soft green grass and a few scattered tools. Jacque loved showing everyday country life. He grew up near Paris but often painted rural France. His work feels simple but has quiet energy. Check out more by Charles-Émile Jacque.
