DescriptionThree men or boys are seated on a small boat which is drawn up on the bank of a large river. One boy holds a fishiing pole. Grass, weeds, and trees are on the bank behind them. Two sailing vessels are on the river. Hills are in the background.
NotesTitle Note: Though information accompanying the print identified the subject as "Mouth of the Connecticut River, Old Saybrook, Conn.", the landscape does not appear to correspond to this stretch of the river and it is more likely that the print depicts a site somewhat farther upstream.Status
