About the piece

Painted in 1875 by renowned American artist Winslow Homer, this oil study captures the serene atmosphere of dusk. The composition features a lone figure in a dory, with the water's surface acting as a luminous mirror for the soft pink and amber light of the setting sun, demonstrating Homer's mastery of light and atmosphere.
