Description:
During the 1870s Homer’s art grew steadily in strength and skill. With a growing command of plein-air light and its relation to form and space, his compositions became more complex and subtle. His works of the 1870s were much preoccupied with women, usually shown engaged in genteel activities. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
