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 as a soft, double-sided tapestry throw with fringed edges — a warm layer for the sofa or bed.

The reproduction quality is the best I have seen anywhere near this price. I have been hunting for a good version of Netting the Fish for two years.
Everything about this went better than I hoped. It brings out parts of Netting the Fish I have never seen reproduced this well. The condition on arrival was flawless, right down to the corners. The driver tucked it inside the storm door, which I appreciated. One very happy customer here.
This is exactly what I was looking for, and I looked for a long time. One very happy customer here.
The shop answered my question about sizing within a few hours. It brought Netting the Fish into the house at a price I could actually justify.
The whole experience was smooth from checkout to delivery. I have wanted something by Homer in this house for years, and Netting the Fish was the right pick. It has already paid for itself in compliments.
