Native hut at Nassau

Winslow Homer, 1885

This painting shows a white thatched-roof house on open, sandy ground. The brown thatched roof of the house has some yellow grass poking through. People can be seen in the open doorway of the house, identifiable by spots of red, blue, and light-yellow clothing. Behind the house is lush green tropical foliage with a few tall palm trees. A rooster is visible on the sandy ground in front of the house next to a long, white object that may be a downed tree trunk. The sky is filled with large white cumulus clouds and patches of bright blue.
