Description |
Lithograph, hand colored: depicts a lake with wooded mountains in the right background with fowl in flight. In center background is a rough shanty built of branches which borders the woods to the left and the water to the right. A skiff with a flat back and two oars drawn up to the shore in the background. Four men in city sporting garb sitting on a log, two of them holding items. One with a fish pole and the other sitting with a dog resting its head on his knee. In the lower corner rests two rifles, a fishing pole, creel and net. Lower center foreground contains a sleeping dog next to a catch of fish. Beyond the fish a fifth man in rough clothes kneels in front of a campfire over which a tripod of sticks for cooking has been erected. |
