Description
Winslow Homer’s Fishing Boats, Key West brings white-hulled vessels close to the viewer on clear, pale blue water. Masts and rigging rise into a lightly clouded sky, while dark figures occupy the boats. Bright reflections break across the surface beneath them.
The watercolor’s open passages give the harbor a fresh, airy quality. Solid dark accents anchor the boats, while washes of blue and green suggest shifting water. Homer keeps the work of the vessels present within a scene dominated by light and transparency.
