About the piece

Painted in 1837 by Thomas Fearnley, this oil study captures the rugged beauty of the English Lake District. The composition is anchored by the striking silhouette of a fisherman’s long, arcing rod, which draws the eye upward into a masterfully rendered sky of shifting light and storm-heavy clouds.
