Man Fishing Indoors

Image

A man clad a long coat, boots and a hat is sitting in a rocking chair indoors. While smoking a cigarette, he is holding a small fishing rod over a fish bowl with one fish in it. There is a lantern below the rocking chair to warm his bum. In the background is a large picture window that shows a winter scene outdoors and icicles hanging down from the roof.
