Adriaen van Ostade

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white etching titled "The Anglers" by Adriaen van Ostade. The scene depicts a wooden bridge over a river, with two men on it. The man on the left wears a hat and holds a fishing rod. The man on the right wears a hood and appears to hold his fishing rod in both hands. The river below has a small boat with a person in it and two ducks swimming. On the left side of the image, a large tree trunk and branches are visible. The background features trees, a building with a sloping roof and chimney, and a cloudy sky with flying birds. The etching is in a landscape orientation and has a rough, textured border around the image.
