About this artwork

Winslow Homer painted this watercolour in 1880, working on paper. A schooner is silhouetted on the water beneath a fiery orange sunset sky. In the foreground sit a small rowboat and dark rocks, which anchor the scene and set the glowing sky and distant vessel at a distance. The work is signed and dated 1880. It belongs to the Westmoreland Museum of American Art and is a good example of the marine subjects for which Homer is best known.

On your wall: Its warm oranges and deep, dark silhouettes suit a living room, study or hallway, particularly where a sea or coastal scene would sit well.
