Three fishermen on the Buffalo River are set against a backdrop of textured cliffs and thin trees. The bold brushwork and rich earthy tones create a sense of movement and energy, while the cloudy blue sky and slow current of the water adds a tranquil atmosphere to the scene.

Buffalo River is located in Arkansas and was designated a national river by Congress in 1972.
