Fishing

Carl C. Brenner

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a natural setting by the riverside. Two figures are depicted near a body of water. One figure is sitting on a wooden structure holding a fishing rod over the water, while the other figure stands nearby on the ground. The scene is under a large tree with intricate branches and leaves. In the background, the water reflects the greenery. The artist used detailed line work and cross-hatching to bring texture to the elements in the drawing.
