A watercolor of open sea under a heavy sky; the water is dark blue-green, rendered in horizontal strokes that catch the texture of the paper, with small whitecaps and glints of light scattered across the surface. The sky is gray and olive with a band of pink and white cloud breaking through at the horizon. There is no land, no vessel, no figure. Just water and sky and the line between them. La Farge was an American painter, muralist, and stained-glass artist who worked across an extraordinary range of media. His watercolors are often quick, atmospheric studies made outdoors, and this one has the feel of a few minutes of concentrated looking at the sea under overcast light.
