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

I was nervous about ordering art online and this went smoothly. Everything I like about Mount Washington is here and legible. The packing was thorough enough that it could have been dropped and survived. Happy customer, and I don't say that often.
The cream matches what I saw on my monitor closely enough. The subject of Mount Washington is what sold me, and it delivers. My mother has strong opinions about how a house should look, and even she liked this one. Buy it if the price works for you. ⭐
This shop does everything right, from checkout to delivery. I have wanted something by Homer since college, and Mount Washington was the one to get. The warm neutral sits perfectly against the paint we already had. My neighbor liked it enough that she ordered one for her own place. Highly recommended if you are hesitating.
This was a gift for my sister and she called me the day it arrived. The condition on arrival was flawless, right down to the corners. 🙂
I have owned better and I have definitely owned worse. There is a slight sheen on the surface under lamp light. It arrived in the middle of a February deep freeze and cracked when I opened it out. Middling in every direction.
