This elegant art print features a powerful line from Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea:
“Perhaps I should not have been a fisherman, he thought. But that was the thing that I was born for.”
Printed in a classic typewriter-style font with a hand-drawn tuna illustration and Hemingway’s actual signature, this piece is a timeless nod to purpose, grit, and love for the sea. A thoughtful gift for any passionate fisherman (or fisherwoman!), or anyone who resonates with the idea of destiny and doing what you’re born to do.
Whether displayed in a coastal cottage, lakeside cabin, or home office, this print adds literary charm and nautical spirit to any space.
Perfect for:
✔ Rustic fishing cabin or lakehouse decor
✔ Gift for fishermen and ocean lovers
✔ Literary quote art collections
✔ Father's Day or retirement gifts
✔ Coastal, nautical, or Americana decor themes
