A man lies on the white sand beside the broken hull of his boat after a storm, the surf still running and the sky clearing behind. Whether he is alive or drowned Homer leaves unclear. It was painted in watercolour in the Bahamas in 1899 and belongs to the same years as The Gulf Stream, which shows another lone sailor at the mercy of the sea. It is in the Art Institute of Chicago.
This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.
Where it works
A powerful shoreline watercolour in turquoise and white for a study or hallway, framed in black. It suits white or slate walls and pairs with The Gulf Stream.
