Salmon Fisher (Le pecheur de saumon) is a 1874 ink by Alphonse Legros, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a serene landscape with a man fishing in a river. The man is standing on the riverbank, holding a fishing rod and looking out at the water. In the background, there are trees and hills, creating a peaceful atmosphere. The artist's use of etching techniques creates a sense of texture and depth in the image. The lines and shading add to the overall mood of the painting, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure of the fisherman.
