Four Boys on a Beach

Winslow Homer, 1873

The artwork features four boys seated closely together on a sandy beach, viewed from behind. They are wearing hats. The horizon is low, with a structure resembling a pier or dock extending horizontally across the composition. Beyond the boys, there is a boat with a covering in the distance. The brushstrokes are loose and sketch-like. The color palette is muted, dominated by earthy tones of beige, brown, and hints of gray.
