Weary c. 1878

"Weary" is a watercolor painting by American artist Winslow Homer, created around 1878. The painting depicts a young girl standing by a tree in a wooded area, her head bowed in a gesture of weariness. The girl’s simple clothing and the peaceful landscape suggest a rural setting, typical of Homer's subject matter. Homer's use of watercolor, characterized by loose brushstrokes and washes, contributes to the serene and atmospheric quality of the painting. "Weary" reflects the artist's interest in capturing the quiet moments and emotions of everyday life.
