Signed and dated 1890 (copyright 1889), this watercolor was painted by Winslow Homer as a study of tonal values in preparation for his etching Fly Fishing, Saranac Lake, and depicts a well-dressed gentleman sportsman fishing in the Adirondack Mountains. Rendered almost entirely in grisaille, or monochrome, it is one of only a few such watercolors Homer produced, and stands apart from his more common depictions of rustic mountain guides. The work is held in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
