"A Nose for Fish" is a black and white etching by Perry Oliver, an American artist who was active from the late 19th to the early 20th century. The print depicts a seated man with a prominent nose and a large, hooked hand, hinting at his experience as a fisherman. His worn clothing and weather-beaten face suggest a life spent at sea. Oliver's use of line and hatching creates a sense of texture and depth in the subject, capturing the rough-hewn character of the fisherman and the starkness of his environment.
