DescriptionThe image is a landscape in which the center of the composition is a body of water; a large boulder is placed in the water near the front shore upon which a male figure stands with his back to the viewer and holding a fishing pole in his hands. The foreground on the left is scrub brush, on the right large rocks; on the left middle ground mature trees hug the water’s edge. Beyond the water two small mountains make a central valley that is filled with trees; in the distance are silhouettes of two mountains.
