Winslow Homer began this watercolor while staying at a lighthouse on Ten Pound Island in the harbor of Gloucester, Massachusetts, where he frequently painted local boys fishing and waiting for their fathers to return from sea. Dated 1880-81, the work shows Homer beginning to experiment with scraping techniques to reveal the white of the paper beneath. It belongs to the Art Institute of Chicago's Mr. and Mrs. Martin A. Ryerson Collection.
Printed edge to edge on a soft, durable woven area rug with a comfortable, non-slip feel.

I have bought a lot of art online and this is the first time it looked exactly like the listing. It washed up beautifully on cold and came out looking new. It has made the playroom feel finished.
The colors read warmer in person and I actually prefer that. The subject of Boy in Boat, Gloucester is what sold me, and it delivers. It suits an old brick house better than anything I found at the stores around Atlanta. This shop has earned a repeat customer.
This is the best thing I have bought for the house all year. The smallest marks in Boy in Boat, Gloucester are still visible, which is the entire point. Our stucco house is hard to decorate and this fit right in. I have told half my family about this shop. ⭐
It arrived two days after I ordered, which I did not expect. I bought this for Boy in Boat, Gloucester and got far more than I paid for. I would order this again tomorrow.
It has held up through a hot summer with the windows open. I keep noticing new corners of Boy in Boat, Gloucester weeks later. Good value even at full price.
