Family Fishing

'Family Fishing' by Henri Julien Félix Rousseau, also known as Le Douanier, is a magnificent oil painting on a canvas. This work is a beautiful representation of Naïve art (primitivism), a genre which Rousseau dominated throughout his career. The painting vividly portrays a family enjoying a fishing trip against a breathtaking cityscape, showcasing Rousseau's ability to merge everyday life with the exceptional. Known for his late entry into the art world, Rousseau's 'Family Fishing' is a testament to his dedication to his full-time artistic endeavour after leaving his career in toll collection.
