Grayling Fishing

Francis Seymour Haden

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a river scene with a low horizon and trees on either side, creating a natural border. The artist used soft, blurred brushstrokes and chiaroscuro to give the image texture. The color palette is warm sepia. In the water, a figure is fishing, surrounded by reeds and a tree.
