About the piece

Created in 1892, this watercolor by American master Winslow Homer depicts a solitary figure managing a boom of timber on the Hudson River. The painting showcases Homer's technical brilliance, contrasting the sun-bleached logs and churning blue water against the deep, mysterious shadows of the Adirondack wilderness.
