CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION
A black and white cartoon-like image depicts a whistling figure walking laden with fishing gear. A variety of patterns are used to create texture within the image: their shirt is checkered, their satchel is covered in wavy lines, and the fishing net and boot interiors are crosshatched (clothing). They are wearing a brimmed hat with fishing lures and they carry a long rod over their shoulder on the left side of the image. A bottle is in their right shirt pocket and another is alongside the right hip. The background is white.

Open from 10 AM to 6 PM Tuesday and Sunday and from 10 AM to 9 PM Wednesday to Saturday. Closed on Mondays. Admission is always FREE. BUY TICKETS! GIVE TO GET ART AUCTION MAY 29
