The Fisherman (Le Pêcheur)

Théodore Rousseau

Cleveland Museum of Art

Sepia-toned landscape painting. A river curves from the bottom-right corner towards the center, with a figure sitting on the left bank. The left bank is covered with grass and shrubs. A large tree with a wide-spreading canopy and gnarled branches stands on the left. Trees line the right bank. The sky is cloudy. The scene depicts a natural, serene environment. The artist's signature appears in the bottom-left corner.
