Did you know?
Winslow Homer was famously captivated by the power of the sea, spending the latter part of his life in the remote coastal town of Prout's Neck, Maine. This drawing captures his keen ability to distill the raw energy of maritime movement into simple, evocative lines, reflecting his transition from a commercial illustrator to a master of American watercolor and drawing.
