The ripples on the water are done incredibly well. They have texture and reflect the back mountains, the boat, and fisherman. Nice Homer, naice. You can't see the source of light at first and there are also no shadows that identify anything plus the sky is pretty gray. But, if you look at the water, you can see the reflection of the sun in the bottom right corner. What's weird is the sky about two thirds of the way up. it seems to mirror itself.
The Red Canoe by Winslow Homer, 1889. No website would give me the medium (apparently MET has better things do upload), presumably oil on canvas, 18 x 25
