  • An oil painting of a lone woodsman standing on a large, fallen white birch log at the edge of a calm lake. The man, seen in profile facing right, wears a brown hat, vest, and trousers and holds a long wooden paddle. To his left, a gray canoe is tucked against the fallen log among lily pads and marsh grass. In the background, two small, pine-covered islands sit on the quiet water under a vast, hazy sky filled with soft, pale yellow and blue clouds. The light suggests early morning or late afternoon, casting a gentle glow across the scene. The signature "Winslow Homer 1870" is visible in the bottom left corner.
