The Story in the Margin
Signed and dated 1882, this watercolor shows two young women and two fishermen in a coble cutting through coastal waters, painted during Winslow Homer's period living in the fishing village of Cullercoats on the northeast coast of England. The work contrasts the solid, carefully observed figures and boat with loose, atmospheric passages of mist and spray in opaque white watercolor. It has been part of the Art Institute of Chicago's Martin A. Ryerson Collection since 1933.
Printed with archival giclée inks on smooth, acid-free 220 gsm gallery-grade fine-art paper; available in multiple sizes.

This has been the easiest online order I have placed in years. I have been hunting for a good version of Fishing off Scarborough for two years. The size is exactly right for the spot I had in mind. It survived a move from Ohio to Michigan in the back of a pickup.
Four stars because it is excellent and I paid a little more than I wanted to. The color choices Homer made in Fishing off Scarborough come through clearly.
It has held up through a hot summer with the windows open. The energy in Fishing off Scarborough is what drew me to Homer in the first place.
This is the best thing I have bought for the house all year. I have been hunting for a good version of Fishing off Scarborough for two years. ⭐
