La salita

Winslow Homer, 1900

This painting shows a person in a rowboat on calm water, fishing. The boat is positioned horizontally across the painting, and the person in it faces the left, looking forward. Their left hand holds the side of the boat while the right holds a long fishing pole that is placed over their shoulder. They wear long-sleeved brown garment and a tan hat with cloth panels that cover their neck and chin. Their skin is a light red color, and they appear to have a gray mustache. In the background there are dense dark green trees, and in the upper left corner a sliver of glowing sky in shades of orange and yellow is visible. Around the boat is dark blue water, with a hint of the yellow sky reflected in the bottom left corner.
