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.
Jacquard-woven both sides in soft, durable yarn; insert included.
