About this work

This shows a man in a long coat walking along a windy shore. His coat flaps behind him. The sea behind is choppy, with white-capped waves. The cover comes from a poem by Robert Burns. The title is from the poem's first line. It’s a sheet-music cover, not a painting, but still has Homer’s early style. Look up Winslow Homer (American, 1836–1910) next.
