Thames Fishermen (First Plate) is a 1859 by Francis Seymour Haden, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet river scene with a lone fisherman standing in a small boat. The water is calm, reflecting the trees along the shore. In the distance, more trees line the riverbank, and a few buildings peek through the foliage. The artist used fine, crosshatching lines to build up the shadows and details, giving the scene texture. This style was common in etchings of the time. Look up etching next to see how artists create detailed prints like this one.
Francis Seymour Haden (1818–1910) was a British artist.
