Halfway Home is a 1869 oil by William McTaggart, held at National Galleries Scotland.
The painting depicts a young girl sitting on a beach, wearing a dark dress and a red shawl. She has dark hair and is looking directly at the viewer. In her lap, she holds a basket with a white object inside. The background shows a sandy beach with a body of water in the distance. The girl's expression is calm, and her posture suggests she is taking a break from her journey. The basket in her lap may contain food or other items she has collected along the way. The painting is reminiscent of the works of William McTaggart, known for his landscapes and figurative paintings.
William McTaggart (25 October 1835 – 2 April 1910) was a Scottish landscape and marine painter who was influenced by Impressionism.
