Description

Beginning in 1884, Winslow Homer—one of the most admired U.S. artists of the nineteenth century—made numerous winter visits to tropical locations. Watercolor became his preferred medium while traveling. This light-filled composition is one of at least six depictions Homer completed in 1885 of everyday scenes featuring local market women on the coral streets of the Bahamian capital, Nassau.
A comienzos de 1884, Winslow Homer, uno de los artistas más admirados estadounidenses del siglo diecinueve, realizó varias visitas invernales a lugares tropicales. La acuarela se convirtió en su medio preferido mientras vajaba. Esta composición, llena de luz, es una de al menos seis representaciones completadas por Homer en 1885 de escenas diarias, incluyendo a mujeres con sus puestos en el mercado local de las calles de coral de Nassau, la capital de las Bahamas.
Descriptive medium: Watercolor over pencil
