Staged portrait of two young boys standing on the edge of a creek with bare feet. One of the boys sits on a tree stump and holds a simple fishing pole over the water as the other boy stands on a log and watches. He rests one elbow on the railing of a bridge made of thin tree trunks with his head in his hand, and holds a walking stick in his other hand. A painted backdrop behind the boys features a clearing surrounded by tall trees.
