Winslow Homer painted this quick, wet-on-wet watercolor on December 22, 1903, during a winter visit to Key West, Florida, capturing a sailor gathering in a sail with loose, rapid brushwork suited to the fleeting moment. Pentimenti beneath the washes show Homer adjusting the figure's pose as he worked to keep pace with the sailor's movements. The watercolor belongs to the Art Institute of Chicago's Martin A. Ryerson Collection.
