About the piece

Painted in 1889, this watercolor by the renowned American artist Winslow Homer captures the immersive atmosphere of the North American woods. Homer's expert use of light and fluid brushwork brings to life the rich textures of the forest floor and the attentive posture of the dogs, making it a quintessential example of late 19th-century naturalist painting.
