(Study of a Man in Rowboat Fishing)
c. 1900

A somber painting depicting a man in dark clothing sitting on the edge of a boat, which is also dark in color. The man is wearing a hat and appears contemplative or weary. The background is dark with expressive brushstrokes, suggesting a night-time or shadowy environment. The overall mood of the artwork is introspective and moody.
