About this work

This painting shows a woman in a long dark dress singing with her eyes closed. She holds sheet music titled “Annie Laurie.” Soft light falls on her face and hands. Winslow Homer made this when he was just 19. It’s an early work, before he became known for Civil War scenes. The drawing seems simple but the mood feels tender and quiet.
