Untitled (Log Raft Fishing)

1892

William De La Montagne Cary

Associated Names

William De La Montagne Cary

Artist, American, 1840 - 1922

The image shows a serene scene of two figures fishing on a log raft. Closest to us, a large fish is caught on a fishing line causing ripples in the water. Beyond the raft, there are rocky islands adorned with evergreens. The horizon meets distant, gently undulating hills. The background is filled with light, sketch-like strokes and the color palette is monochromatic, using shades of gray and subtle lines.
