Description: Early in his career, in the 1870s, Homer was widely admired for depictions of the Civil War and for idyllic scenes of rural America. The tenor of his work changed decisively, however, during a two-year stay (1881-83) in the English village of Tynemouth on the coast of the North Sea. In both watercolor and oil Homer now focused on the fisherfolk who braved the dangerous sea to earn their spare livelihood. The subject of a robust fisherwoman facing the elements with her baby strapped to her back fits squarely within this theme of man's struggle against natural forces.
