Fishing from a Coracle, Carrog, Merionethshire is a 1942 watercolor by Mildred E. Eldridge, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a quiet riverside scene. Two people sit in a small boat, fishing. Nearby, a larger boat rests on the shore, its curved shape and striped sail standing out. The background is soft and hazy, with faint hills and trees barely sketched in. The artist used light pencil strokes, leaving the paper mostly pale. The boats and figures are simple but clear, with just enough detail to feel real. Want to see more by this artist? Check out Eldridge, Mildred E..
