Aiden Lassell Ripley (1896-1969)
Fishing A Rocky River
signed "A. Lassell Ripley" lower left
watercolor, 14 1/2 by 20 3/4 in.
In "Fishing a Rocky River," Ripley captures a blue sky day of salmon fishing on the river. Fishing scenes by Ripley are harder to come by than his hunting works. This painting is an excellent example with vibrant colors.
