Winslow Homer has matured slowly as an artist, but his development has been constant.
With the passage of years, his oil paintings have become larger, his figures more solitary, his concern for naturalistic detail greater.
He paints many women, increasingly as single figures, intimate, withdrawn, feminine.
From the late 1870s, Homer begins to devote his summers exclusively to direct painting from nature in watercolor.
Greater concern for atmospheric effects and reflected light add complexity to the images but at the same time enable him to achieve greater pictorial unity.
