About the piece
Painted in 1874, this masterful watercolor and gouache work by American artist Winslow Homer captures a serene scene of a young woman collecting eggs in a rustic barn. The composition is grounded by warm earth tones and the focused, quiet energy of the figure, offset by the lively presence of a rooster in the foreground and the soft, textured rendering of hay.
