Croquet Scene — Homer Pillow
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.
Jacquard-woven both sides in soft, durable yarn; insert included.

It fills the space in the family room the way I hoped it would. It brought Croquet Scene into the house at a price I could actually justify. I would happily buy here again.
I have bought a lot of art online and this is the first time it looked exactly like the listing. Every line in Croquet Scene is crisp, even in the busiest areas. My only regret is not ordering sooner.
This has been the easiest online order I have placed in years. The tones across Croquet Scene are even and true right to the corners. Ten out of ten from me.
So glad it found the right spot in your house. Thanks for the kind words. Ines
It arrived four days after I ordered and in perfect shape. 😍
I’ve had it in place for two weeks and I notice it every time I walk past. I keep noticing new corners of Croquet Scene weeks later.
