Girl Gone Fishing
Girl Gone Fishing by American Artist Walt Otto (1895 – 1963); Maler, Illustrator, Advertising and Pinup Artist from 1935 – 1945.
This is a warm and enchanting country pin up girl genre painting of a beautiful young brunette sitting on a grass covered rocky ledge by a river bank with her feet in the water holding a bamboo fishing rod with both her hands, as she enjoys a day out fishing.
She is wearing a cross meshed braided yellow straw hat, a bright red plunging v-neck blouse and black denim short jeans.
By her left side is her trusty white with black patches pet dog, who is eyeing a frog that is sitting on a rock just off the bank; while the frog is eyeing the white can of bait worms that is resting to her right near her right knee.
