Thames Fishermen is a 1859 ink by Francis Seymour Haden, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet river scene with two figures standing on the bank. One person is holding a long pole, maybe fishing, while the other leans against a tree. The water is calm, with a small boat tied up nearby. Trees line the shore, and a distant village sits on the other side of the river. The artist used a scratchy, textured style to create depth and movement. The lines are loose and quick, giving the scene a sketchy, almost sketch-like feel. Next, check out etching to see how artists use metal plates and acid to make prints like this.
