"A Long Island Fisherman," also known as "A Fisherman (Old Mr. Woodburn)," is a notable work by the American Impressionist painter William Merritt Chase (1849–1916). Created in 1902, this painting is a testament to Chase's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects with a combination of realism and impressionistic brushwork. The artwork depicts an elderly fisherman, identified as Mr. Woodburn, who was a local character on the shores of Long Island where Chase spent his summers and often found inspiration for his work.

The painting is characterized by its loose brushstrokes and the interplay of light and shadow, which was a hallmark of Chase's mature style. The fisherman is portrayed with a sense of dignity and a contemplative expression, set against a backdrop that suggests the marine environment without overtly detailing it, allowing the viewer to focus on the figure himself. The use of color and light in the painting reflects the influence of Impressionism on Chase's work, while the solid drawing and compositional structure show his academic training and his commitment to the figure as a subject.

"A Long Island Fisherman" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its representation of American life at the turn of the 20th century. The painting captures a slice of Americana, highlighting the everyday people and scenes that were an integral part of the nation's cultural fabric. As with many of Chase's portraits, the work provides insight into the artist's interest in the individual character and social types of his time.

The painting is part of the collection of the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill, New York, an institution that holds several works by Chase, who played a pivotal role in the development of American Impressionism. "A Long Island Fisherman" continues to be appreciated for its artistic qualities and as an example of Chase's contribution to American art history.
