Watching the Ships, Gloucester, 1875, by Winslow Homer depicts three barefoot boys in straw hats resting on a rocky bluff above Gloucester Harbor, Massachusetts, absorbed in watching sailing schooners glide past on the horizon while other children swim among the rocks below. Painted during Homer's mid-1870s period, when he turned frequently to scenes of American childhood and coastal leisure, the watercolor captures a quiet, unhurried moment of New England summer life.
Artist: Winslow Homer (1836–1910). Date: 1875.
