A gifted illustrator, Winslow Homer moved to New York as a young adult to work for Harper’s Weekly. It wasn’t until the age of 26 that he took up painting, virtually teaching himself. Homer executed several graphite studies and watercolors depicting the subject of two young women walking arm in arm through nature. He often painted the activities of contemporary American women, here portraying the leisurely outdoor outings that were popular at this time.
