About the piece

Painted in 1899, this masterful watercolor by Winslow Homer captures the raw power of nature and the vulnerability of man. The dramatic contrast between the dark, churning sky and the bright Caribbean sand highlights Homer's legendary ability to render atmosphere, light, and narrative tension through the medium of watercolor.
