Painted in 1882 during Winslow Homer's stay on England's rugged northeast coast, this watercolor places one of his favorite models, Maggie Storey, on the high chalk cliffs of Flamborough Head. Homer used diluted opaque white watercolor in broad, expressive strokes to render mist and cloud, a technique he adopted from English watercolorists to suggest atmosphere and distance. The work 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.

The reproduction quality is the best I have seen anywhere near this price. Every line in Flamborough Head, England is crisp, even in the busiest areas. I already have my eye on a second one.
The shipping was fast and the packing was better than most furniture I have bought. The tones are deep and even across the entire surface. Our place is a third-floor walk-up and the package came up the stairwell without a scratch. It is the best thing in the reading nook now.
This went well past what I expected. It has made me appreciate Flamborough Head, England more than I already did.
I have no real complaints and one small wish. The smaller elements of Flamborough Head, England are clear enough to reward a close look. 👌
So glad it found the right spot in your house. Thanks for the kind words. Ines
The colors read warmer in person and I actually prefer that. The smaller elements of Flamborough Head, England are clear enough to reward a close look. Four stars and a short wish list.
