Young Anglers is an 1820 oil painting by the British artist William Collins.[1][2] It features a depiction in rural England, where two boys on the bank of a river in a village are happily fishing. Such nostalgic, Romantic views were common in the work of Collins.[3]
When Collins was elected as a full member of the Royal Academy of Arts in 1820 he presented this as his diploma work.[4] It remains in the collection of the Royal Academy today.[5] The theme of boys fishing or collecting shrimps or prawns recurred in his work such as Shrimp Boys at Cromer or Prawn Fishing. The same year a mezzotint Boys Fishing was produced by the engraver Francis James Collins was produced based on Collins' work.[6]
