Fishing

Sion Longley Wenban

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a sketch of three people in a boat on the water. The boat contains a man rowing and two passengers, all wearing hats. The man rowing faces away from the viewer, while the two passengers face the same direction. The boat is in the center of the image and faces right. A small head and shoulders portrait of a man appears in the upper left. The words "White Fish Pt." are written near the top center. The sketch is rendered in black on off-white paper with rough edges. The paper shows signs of aging with darker spots and lines throughout. A thin line borders the edge of the paper, with a thicker border at the bottom. The sketch appears to be a study or preparatory work. The title of the work is "Fishing" by Sion Longley Wenban.
