About this work

Artist: Fitz Henry Lane (1804–1865)
Year: 1863
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 62.5 × 96.8 cm
Collection: National Gallery of Art, Washington
Movement: Luminism

Two lumber schooners lie becalmed on Penobscot Bay at dusk, their sails slack, under a sky that turns from violet to rose at the horizon, with a small boat rowing between them. It is one of Lane's late masterpieces of stillness. It is in the National Gallery of Art, Washington.

This full-bleed edition prints the work edge to edge from a high-resolution scan of the original, very slightly cropped (a few percent at most) to fit the sheet. The gallery edition shows the whole work, uncropped. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

A violet-and-rose evening sea for a bedroom, living room or coastal house in a dark wood frame. It suits soft lavender, grey or white walls.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

Very slightly cropped. This full-bleed edition prints the painting edge to edge, so a thin sliver, a few percent at most, is trimmed from two opposite edges to fit the print size. We only offer it on paintings whose proportions already come that close to the sheet. For the whole painting, uncropped, choose the gallery edition.

Is Lumber Schooners at Evening on Penobscot Bay in the public domain?

Yes. Fitz Henry Lane (1804–1865) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by National Gallery of Art.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 18×12, 24×16 and 36×24 inches; every size is also offered framed in black or dark wood, with plexiglass and no mat. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Lumber Schooners at Evening on Penobscot Bay painted, and in what medium?

Lumber Schooners at Evening on Penobscot Bay dates from 1863 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 62.5 × 96.8 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 36×24 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 24×16 suits a narrower wall or a pair. It is a landscape print, wider than it is tall, at the painting's own proportions.
