About the piece

Painted in 1868, Winslow Homer’s 'The Bridle Path, White Mountains' captures a moment of quiet grace amidst a rugged landscape. A young woman navigates the rocky terrain of Mount Washington on a pale horse, surrounded by a luminous haze that softens the vast peaks behind her, showcasing Homer's early mastery of light and outdoor subjects.
