About this work

The painting depicts a serene scene of two men fishing by a river, with a bridge and buildings in the background. The men are dressed in casual attire, with one wearing a green jacket and the other an orange coat. They stand on the riverbank, surrounded by lush greenery and trees. In the distance, a bridge spans the river, connecting the two sides of the town. The buildings are depicted in a warm, golden light, with the sky above a soft blue with white clouds. This painting is held at the Derby Museum and Art Gallery.
