Brackett, known for his detailed and realistic depictions of fish and game in their natural habitats. This particular painting, executed in oil on canvas, is a fine example of Brackett's skill in capturing the essence of outdoor sporting life, a subject that was highly popular among the affluent patrons of the period.

The painting portrays a freshly caught salmon lying on the riverbank, presumably after a successful fishing expedition. Brackett's attention to detail is evident in the meticulous rendering of the fish's scales, the play of light on its iridescent skin, and the naturalistic setting that surrounds the central subject. The work reflects the artist's intimate knowledge of his subject matter, likely gained through personal experience and observation, as Brackett was an avid sportsman himself.
