About the piece

Created circa 1915, J. Alden Weir’s 'The Fishing Party' captures a tranquil moment of leisure in the American countryside. As a leading figure of American Impressionism, Weir utilizes delicate, broken brushwork and a sun-drenched palette of soft greens and airy blues to evoke the quiet atmosphere of a summer afternoon by the water.
