About the piece
Painted during Winslow Homer's formative stay in France in 1867, this intimate oil study depicts a toddler in a primitive wooden walker. The composition contrasts the deep, earthy shadows of the farmyard with a glimpse of sun-drenched greenery through a stone archway, showcasing the artist's burgeoning mastery of light and atmosphere.
