About the piece

Painted in 1894, 'Below Zero' showcases Winslow Homer's late-career mastery of atmospheric landscape. Two figures, heavily bundled in furs and carrying snowshoes, are set against a desolate, snow-covered horizon under a brooding, leaden sky. The restricted palette and bold brushwork evoke the biting cold and quiet stillness of the North.
