The Signal of Distress is a 1891 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In this painting, a group of people are gathered around a boat, looking out at the sea. The sky is dark and stormy, with waves crashing against the shore. The people are dressed in old-fashioned clothing, and one of them is holding a rope. The scene is depicted in a realistic style, with attention to detail and texture. The brushstrokes are bold and expressive, and the colors are muted and subdued. The overall mood of the painting is one of tension and drama, as if the people are waiting for something to happen. If you're interested in learning more about this style of painting, you might want to look into the work of Homer, Winslow.
