Palm Tree, Nassau — Winslow Homer (1898)
Trade winds in watercolor: a lone palm sways against Bahamian light, fronds splayed like green fireworks, trunk catching sun and salt air. Winslow Homer distils the tropics into gesture and glow—simple, fresh, unforgettable.

-
Elegant economy — a master’s few strokes suggesting movement and heat.
-
Sense of place — sand, sky, and sea conjured with airy restraint.

What you’ll see
A tall palm set slightly off-centre, fronds raked by wind; pale sky drifting into soft sea tones; spare foreground that lets the silhouette breathe. Up close: crisp dry-brush edges and delicate granulation. From a step back: buoyant light and breezy motion.
A richer historical frame
In the 1890s, Winslow Homer worked in the Bahamas, translating brilliant light and maritime atmosphere into incisive watercolors. Palm Tree, Nassau shows his mature ease—nature pared to essentials, rendered with clarity and grace.
