Description:

|
Homer made many trips to the Adirondacks between 1870 and 1910, although he did little work there after 1900. The Trapper was painted on his first trip. It depicts a man, the trapper, standing on the trunk of a tree that has fallen into the water. Beyond him are islands, the pond, and the opposite shoreline. Placed at a slight angle in the canoe is a jack light which, when a candle or lantern was lighted in the receptacle on the pole at night, would be used to startle deer.
