Painting, White Mountain Wagon
This is a Painting. It was created by Winslow Homer. It is dated 1868–69 and we acquired it in 1918. Its medium is brush and oil on mahogany panel. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
A White Mountain wagon was a specific type of vehicle whose back wheels were larger than the front wheels to aid its stability on a rising or descending mountain trail. These wagons had benches for passengers and a fabric shade with shirring along the edges. Homer exhibited this painting at the National Academy’s 1870 annual exhibition along with ten other pictures, including The Bridle Path, White Mountains.
