DescriptionThis drawing reveals an expanse of beach populated with tall, full palm trees.Gallery LabelDuring one of his many vacations in Florida, Winslow Homer rendered this scene of a popular fishing camp near Tampa. The drawing features Homer's famed powers of observation, evident in his confident and varied technique. His marks effectively capture different textures and effects, such as sand, water, and the tropical vegetation. Homer executed a strikingly similar composition in watercolor.
