About the Item

Rod Sutterby (20th Century) Trout Oil on canvas, signed lower left Circa 1997 43 x 45 inches This large-scale and highly detailed composition by Rod Sutterby presents a school of trout gliding effortlessly through the cool, green depths of a river. The artist captures the sleek, golden-hued bodies of the fish with meticulous naturalism, their speckled markings and shimmering scales rendered in lifelike precision. Against the shifting play of light upon the water and the darkened rocks of the riverbed below, the trout appear suspended in motion, evoking both serenity and vitality. Sutterby’s work reflects the long tradition of angling and sporting art, yet with a modern approach that places the viewer within the trout’s habitat. Painted circa 1997, the scene resonates with both scientific accuracy and artistic sensitivity, demonstrating the painter’s ability to balance realism with atmosphere. The subtle layering of greens and blues suggests the depths of the river, while the careful modelling of the trout highlights their power, grace, and enduring beauty. At over three and a half feet square, this canvas possesses both presence and decorative impact, making it an important piece within Sutterby’s oeuvre. Underwater sporting scenes of this scale and quality are comparatively rare, appealing equally to collectors of wildlife art, angling enthusiasts, and those seeking a striking naturalistic centrepiece. The painting is housed in a dark-stained wooden frame, which enhances the depth of the composition and reinforces its rich, natural tones.
