About the piece
Painted in 1901 during a trip to Norway, John Singer Sargent depicts his nephew, Alexander McCulloch, resting on a rocky riverbank after a successful fishing session. The work showcases Sargent's virtuoso brushwork, particularly in the churning, translucent water and the play of light across the young man's white shirt.
