About the piece

Created in 1887, this watercolor and graphite work by Winslow Homer showcases the artist's legendary ability to capture the weight of atmosphere and the dignity of his subjects. Two scouts on horseback pause in a sparse landscape, framed by a towering bank of clouds that suggests the vastness and tension of the American wilderness.
