About the piece

Created in 1903, this masterful watercolor by Winslow Homer captures the unique light and atmosphere of the Florida Keys. The composition features a white schooner set against a choppy, multi-toned sea, showcasing Homer’s exceptional ability to render the movement and translucency of water through fluid brushwork and a sophisticated palette.
