Note

The present work closely related to Summer Landscape, also referred to as Fishing on the River Boula when it was exhibited at the Bruce Museum. The two paintings are almost identical, aside from the presence of children in Summer Landscape, who have been replaced by ducks in the foreground of the present composition.
