This is a drawing of an angler holding a fishing rod while swatting at a swarm of insects. The scene depicts a person sitting on a rocky ledge by the water's edge, focused on fishing. The individual is holding a fishing rod with one hand while using the other hand and a piece of cloth or a hat to wave away a cloud of small insects. Beside the person, there is a fishing basket and other small items. The background includes a body of water with a landscape of distant land and possibly two small figures on the bank. The drawing captures the moment with expressive lines and shading, focusing on the interaction between the angler's calm patience and the disturbance from nature.
