Painted in 1894, this watercolor captures a quiet, tense moment along the rocky Maine coast just before a storm rolls in, its smooth turquoise water rendered in pure transparent washes beneath a darkening horizon. Winslow Homer, who had settled at Prout's Neck, Maine, the previous decade, used a wet-on-wet technique inspired by Japanese ink painting to blend sea, sky, and rain into one atmosphere. It is held in the Art Institute of Chicago's Martin A. Ryerson Collection.

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