Winslow Homer

Cleveland Museum of Art

A watercolor painting by Winslow Homer titled A Clam-Bake. The scene depicts a group of people on a rocky beach. In the foreground, four people are gathered around a hole in the ground. Three of them are wearing wide-brimmed straw hats, and one person on the right wears a dark hat. The two people on the left are wearing brown, one with a blue shirt underneath, and the person on the right wears a red shirt with white straps and a dark bag. Behind them to the left, a woman sits on a large rock, wearing a white shawl, white hat with a black band, and dark clothing. Further back on the left, another person in a red jacket and white hat holds a bundle of sticks. The background features a large body of water with a distant sailboat and a line of dark land on the right. The sky above is cloudy and gray. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom-left corner.
