About the piece

Created in 1878, this watercolor by Winslow Homer captures a quiet moment of repose in the American countryside. A young figure, wearing a white sun bonnet, leans against a sturdy tree trunk, surrounded by the lush, dappled greens of a summer wood. Homer's signature loose brushwork and mastery of the medium are evident in the delicate rendering of light filtering through the leaves.
