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.
Jacquard-woven both sides in soft, durable yarn; insert included.

This is the best thing I have bought for the house all year. Genuinely delighted with it.
Thanks for this. Happy the colors landed the way they should, since that is the part we fuss over most.
It arrived two days after I ordered, which I did not expect. The detail in Fishing off Scarborough holds up with my face inches away. It arrived a full day ahead of the estimate. It has not faded at all in a room that gets brutal afternoon light.
I was nervous about ordering art online and this went smoothly. The colors in Fishing off Scarborough came through almost exactly as I hoped. Very happy with the purchase.
The detail is good until you get within a couple of feet. I wanted something by Homer and settled for a middling copy of Fishing off Scarborough. It is neither a win nor a loss.
Thank you for a fair review. We are working on the delivery estimates so they match what actually happens.
Four stars because it is excellent and I paid a little more than I wanted to. I keep noticing new corners of Fishing off Scarborough weeks later.
Thank you. We spend a long time on the scans, so hearing that the detail came through means a lot.
