About the piece
Created in 1904, this watercolor by Winslow Homer captures the quiet energy of the Key West docks. Using broad, fluid washes and precise calligraphic lines for the masts and rigging, Homer evokes the humid, hazy light of the Florida coast. This piece demonstrates his masterful ability to convey complex maritime atmosphere with an economy of brushwork.
