Original pen, ink and watercolour painting on board. Signed and dated by the artist in the lower right hand corner. Original Leicester Galleries exhibition notice to the rear. 24.5cm x 17.4cm. Very good condition indeed. An iconic angling image from Walton's Compleat Angler. "I am glad to enter you into the art of fishing by catching a chub, for there is no fish better to enter a young angler. Go to the same hole in which I caught my chub, where in most hot days you will find a dozen or twenty chevens floating near the top of the water; get two or three grasshoppers as you go over the meadow, and get secretly behind the tree." (p. 69) LITERATURE: The Compleat Angler (Harrap, 1931), plate at p.68.
