Disturbing the Fishers 1905

"Disturbing the Fishers," painted in 1905 by James Charles, showcases the artist's masterful skill in capturing the tranquility of rural life. The scene depicts a young boy, armed with a stick, approaching a group of ducks swimming in a stream beneath a rustic bridge. A woman, perhaps the boy's mother, stands on the bridge observing the scene. This work exemplifies Charles's ability to portray the beauty of nature and everyday life, making it a classic example of the Impressionist style.
