A watercolor painting by Winslow Homer titled "Boys in a Dory". The scene depicts four boys in a small wooden boat on the water. The boy on the right sits on the edge with his legs dangling over the side. The other three boys are seated and face away from the viewer, looking towards another boat in the background. They wear casual clothing and hats. The boat is dark brown with a light-colored interior. In the background, there are other boats on the water and a distant shoreline. The sky above is light gray with darker clouds. The water reflects the colors of the sky and boats.
