1889
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Fly Fishing is a 1889 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a man in a small, round boat on calm water. He’s holding a fishing rod with one hand and a net in the other, wearing a cap and a long-sleeved shirt. The boat looks simple, made of woven material, and the water around it is smooth, with just a few ripples. Notice how the artist used loose, sketchy lines to show the water’s movement. The background is faint, letting the boat and the man stand out clearly. If this style intrigues you, look up Realism next.
Winslow Homer (February 24, 1836 – September 29, 1910) was an American landscape painter and illustrator, best known for his marine subjects.
