About the Item

This painting titled A Quiet Day of Fishing by Clement Rollins Grant captures a serene moment along a sunlit shoreline. At the center, a barefoot boy stands with his back turned, carefully holding a model sailboat in his hands. His straw hat casts a shadow over his face as he focuses intently, evoking a sense of youthful wonder and patience. The boats moored nearby suggest a working harbor, yet the boy’s quiet play introduces a tender, personal note amid the maritime setting. The grassy banks and rolling fields beyond soften the scene, creating a gentle balance between land, water, and sky. Grant’s attention to light and reflection infuses the work with warmth, highlighting the peaceful rhythm of rural life by the water. Signed lower right, this work conveys nostalgia, innocence, and a timeless appreciation for simple pleasures.
