About Artwork: (1901) "This painting represents the last stage of Richards’s prolific career. It reveals his definite, though reluctant, concession to the broader rendering of forms and looser brush work that had become popular by the turn of the twentieth century and is evident in Winslow Homer’s seascapes. However, Richards’s longstanding preference for detail is still apparent in the crisp definition of the cresting waves." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
