Group of trout is a 1879 watercolor by Walter Fryer Stocks, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows three trout lying on a rocky riverbed. Their scales shimmer with wet spots, and their fins blend into the water’s edge. Above them, a cluster of green water plants floats, while the background fades into a soft blur of rocks and shadows. The artist focused on the fish’s textures—notice how the scales catch light, and the water looks almost transparent. The brushstrokes are loose, like quick sketches, but still precise.

Walter Fryer Stocks painted delicate watercolors of fish and rivers in the late 1800s.
