Description
This Roland Knight oil painting captures the dramatic moment of a salmon being brought to the gaff in a serene yet dynamic river setting. The large salmon emerges forcefully from the water, its powerful body glistening as it thrashes against the pull. The detailed rendering of the fish, with its shimmering scales and sharp focus, contrasts with the tranquil ripples of the surrounding water and the muted tones of the distant rocky shore and trees. A gaff is poised in the background, ready to secure the catch, adding tension to the composition. Framed in an ornate gold frame, the artwork combines a sense of sport and nature’s majesty, reflecting a timeless narrative of angling tradition.
Original oil on canvas, signed bottom left, title on reverse of canvas and in period gilt frame.
In excellent antique condition.
