About the piece

Painted in 1891, this luminous watercolor by Winslow Homer captures a moment of labor in the American wilderness. The artist employs fluid, expressive washes to depict the churning blue water and the deep greens of the Adirondack slopes, centering on the focused movements of two men guiding logs downriver.
