About the piece
Created in 1885, this watercolor by Winslow Homer depicts the city of Santiago de Cuba. The artist uses a delicate palette of earthy reds, ochres, and soft blues to render the densely packed architecture against the hazy silhouette of the Sierra Maestra mountains, showcasing his mastery of atmospheric light and fluid brushwork.
