About the piece

Painted in 1873, Winslow Homer’s 'The Four-Leaf Clover' is a masterful example of American realism that captures the quiet innocence of childhood. The young girl, dressed in a crisp white frock and a ribboned straw hat, is seated against the rustic textures of a stone foundation and climbing garden foliage, creating a serene and timeless composition.
