- Summary
- Twilight landscape with a red-shirted man walking with a fishing pole over his shoulder along a fence toward a cabin at left. At right, a woman stands on the edge of the bayou, and a boy runs toward her. Beyond her, a line of white ducks walk out of the water and onto the grass, near a grouping of cypress trees. The sun almost set, there are heavy shadows throughout the scene.
