Palm Tree, Nassau

Winslow Homer

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Palm Tree, Nassau by Winslow Homer: A painting of a landscape with a shoreline. The painting has a thick border around it. There are two palm trees on a grassy hill in the foreground; both trees have their leaves blowing in the wind. The leaves on both trees are green. The palm tree on the right is shorter. The ocean is in the background behind and below the trees; it is blue and has small white waves. A white lighthouse with a red flag flies on a small strip of land behind the ocean. The sky is blue and cloudy; the clouds are gray.
