About the piece

Painted in 1883, this watercolor by American master Winslow Homer captures the dramatic power of the Atlantic Ocean at Scarboro, Maine. The work demonstrates Homer's extraordinary skill in depicting the weight and translucency of water, using fluid brushwork to contrast the frothing white spray against the solid, dark forms of the shoreline rocks.
