About the piece
Created in 1872, Winslow Homer’s 'At the Window' captures a quiet, private moment through a sophisticated use of chiaroscuro. The stark contrast between the shadowed interior and the vibrant green of the garden beyond emphasizes the woman's contemplative gaze, a hallmark of Homer's early career in American Realism.
