About the piece

Painted in 1872 by Winslow Homer, this oil study captures a young woman in a flowing, pale dress standing before a hammock. The work exemplifies Homer's ability to render the soft light and quiet atmosphere of domestic leisure, with rich green foliage providing a deep, textured backdrop that makes the central figure feel luminous and ethereal.
