Three boys stand by a river, fishing poles in hand. Two hold nets. One boy crouches, watching water. They’re dressed in simple shirts and pants. This is an etching, not a painting. Etching uses acid to carve lines into metal plates. Ink fills the lines, then paper presses against it. Look up etching on paper. James S. King did this one.
