Winslow Homer painted this in 1892, aged 56. It is now at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.

Our note:

> A young hunter lies across the stern of a rowboat, gripping the antler of a deer submerged in the water with one hand and holding a rope with the other, while he turns to shout at his hound swimming towards them. Behind, the trees of the Adirondack forest blaze red and gold.
