Boys Wading by Winslow Homer Coastal Art Print

Bring the allure of Winslow Homer's Boys Wading into your home with this beautiful wall art print. Painted in 1873 using watercolor on woven paper, this American Realist masterpiece is housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The scene captures two boys playfully wading in knee-deep water, likely set in Virginia, where Homer often sketched the simplicity of rural life during his travels in the early 1870s.

This captivating artwork showcases Homer's skillful use of graphite and watercolor to create a visually striking composition without needing distinct borderlines. The verdigris boat in the upper register, resting alongside the water, further enhances the scene's coastal charm.

One of the most striking features of Boys Wading is the metallic transparency of the water, masterfully rendered through watercolor to convey the sun's rays skimming across the surface, creating a sense of movement and vitality. The reflections of the boys, caught in the sunlit water, add an extra dimension to this lively scene.

Elevate your home decor with the vibrant and nostalgic Boys Wading wall art print by Winslow Homer. This enchanting piece invites viewers to reminisce on the simple joys of childhood and appreciate the beauty of nature. Let this artwork serve as a daily reminder to celebrate life's moments of wonder and delight.

A "Window Mount" or "Border" is a piece of high quality beveled canvas that sits on top of and borders the framed art print. It sits underneath the glass & on top of the print, creating extra breathing space between the print & glass.

For our Framed A4, A3 & A2 Prints we use a 20mm Window Mount.

For our Framed A1 & A0 Prints we use a 40mm Window Mount.

A Window Mount can be used to add additional depth & give the art a more traditional finish.
