Spearing Eels

Winslow Homer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a man in a small tan boat on a body of water. The man wears a white shirt, brown pants and a brown hat. He holds a long spear. A red and white bucket sits beside him in the boat. A white house with a gray roof and two red chimneys sits on the shore to the right. The water reflects the scene. The sky is gray and cloudy. The artist's signature appears in the lower right corner.
