The oil painting depicts a young boy fishing. He wears a white long-sleeved shirt, gray pants, and a beige hat. The boy stands on a rock in the water, with a long fishing rod. He faces left. His attire includes red suspenders. The background features a wooded area with trees and tall grass. The water is dark and murky. A few lily pads float on the water's surface. The painting's color palette is predominantly dark and muted. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom left corner. The overall scene is serene and rustic.
