A vertically oriented oil painting depicts a boy with light skin tone standing on a log at a water's edge. Facing right, he holds a long, thin pole with both hands. He wears a wide-brimmed straw hat, a white long-sleeved shirt with red suspenders, and loose brown trousers. Dense, dark green trees and small purple flowers fill the background, rendered with textured brushwork and muted tones.
