Croquet Scene — Homer Area Rug
Couldn't load pickup availability
Painted in 1866, this oil is one of five works Winslow Homer completed on the fashionable pastime of croquet, newly imported to the United States from Britain. Rendered with bold patterning and bright outdoor light, it captures men and women at leisure on a summer afternoon, part of Homer's early turn from Civil War illustration toward oil painting. The work is held in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Printed edge to edge on a soft, durable woven area rug with a comfortable, non-slip feel.

The condition it arrived in tells me somebody packs these by hand. The smaller elements of Croquet Scene are clear enough to reward a close look. It survived a move across town in the original packaging. It was a good decision.
This is the rare purchase that looks better in person than online. It has made me appreciate Croquet Scene more than I already did.
This is the best thing I have bought for the house all year. It washed up beautifully on cold and came out looking new. Every person who has been in the house has asked where it came from.
This is exactly what I was looking for, and I looked for a long time. My daughter recognized Croquet Scene from her art class and was thrilled. This is what buying online should feel like.
This was a gift for my sister and she called me the day it arrived. It is the best thing in the study now.
