Boy with Anchor

Winslow Homer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a boy sitting on an anchor on a rocky beach. The boy wears a white shirt and brown pants, with a tan hat on his head. He sits with his back to the viewer, facing a body of water with a distant white sailboat and a rocky shoreline. The anchor is large and old, with a long stock and two curved arms. The beach is covered in small rocks and pebbles, and there are some green seaweed-like plants scattered about. In the background, there are large rocks and boulders, with a blue sky above featuring a few white birds flying overhead. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom-right corner.
