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.
Jacquard-woven as a soft, double-sided tapestry throw with fringed edges — a warm layer for the sofa or bed.

The detail is unbelievable for the price. The shading in Boy in Boat, Gloucester has a depth I never noticed in books.
