Winslow Homer traveled to New Hampshire's White Mountains on assignment for Harper's Weekly beginning in 1868, and this watercolor, painted around that time, records the view near the summit of Mount Washington, the region's highest peak. Rather than treat the mountain as untouched wilderness, Homer depicted the White Mountains as they were experienced by the era's tourists, hikers, and grand hotel guests. The work is held in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
