About the Item

Young Boy Fishing by a Beautiful Riverside in Lush Green English Countryside, by 20th Century British Artist Art measures 41 x 20 inches Frame measures 48.25 x 27 inches Barry Westcott (British, 20th Century) “Gone Fishing” Oil on canvas, signed and dated 1995 Framed in white wood Evoking the charm of a simpler time, Gone Fishing by British artist Barry Westcott captures the serenity and innocence of rural life with exquisite photorealism. In this enchanting composition, a young boy lies in repose by the edge of a tranquil riverbank, nestled in lush grass and leaning blissfully against a rustic “Private No Fishing” sign. With his fishing rod cast casually into still waters, he embodies the carefree spirit of youth and quiet rebellion. Westcott’s masterful attention to detail—seen in the rich texture of the grass, the dappled light filtering through dense woodland, and the soft reflection on the water—demonstrates a painterly precision that elevates this work beyond mere nostalgia. The palette is naturalistic yet luminous, creating a romanticised but grounded vision of the British countryside. A rare and heartwarming piece, this painting will appeal to collectors who appreciate fine figurative work with narrative charm and timeless emotional resonance. Perfect for those curating an interior with both warmth and sophistication.
