About this artwork
Winslow Homer painted this work in oil in 1872. It shows a girl reading on a stone porch, a simple everyday scene set outdoors. Homer is best known for his marine subjects and for his landscapes, and he is regarded as one of the foremost American painters of the nineteenth century. Here his attention turns to a figure absorbed in a book, and the title leads the eye to the quiet act of reading.
On your wall: Its calm, domestic subject suits a reading corner, a study, a quiet bedroom or a hallway where a gentle figure scene is welcome.
