About the piece
Painted in 1889, this watercolor demonstrates Winslow Homer's legendary ability to capture the raw energy of the American wilderness. The scene depicts a fisherman perched precariously on a log, dwarfed by the surging white water of a massive fall, rendered with the artist's signature fluid brushwork and atmospheric depth.
