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

It landed on my porch in perfect condition two days early. It has beaten every expectation I had.

The item is passable and the experience of getting it was not. It is hard to make out the smaller parts of Fishing off Scarborough from more than a few feet away.
We dropped the ball here and I apologize. Write to us directly and we will refund the full amount, including what you paid to ship it back.
It came packed so well that opening it took ten minutes. Every line in Fishing off Scarborough is crisp, even in the busiest areas.
