This lively depiction of the drama of landing a catch, and the strength and patience required to be a skilled fishermen, proved to be commercially very successful. Frost & Reed Ltd. published an engraving in the following year, 1903.
Whilst training in Paris during the early 1880s, under the tutelage of Carolus Duran, Farquharson was encouraged to visit the forest of Fontainebleau to practice painting en plein air.
