  • The Sotheby's catalogue note notes an affinity with Mary Cassatt’s The Boating Party as a fresh interpretation of a classic genre scene: "Using strong linear elements to formally define the space and unconventional flattening of the picture plane, both Homer and Cassatt offer a distinctly modern view of a sun-filled, leisurely day at the shore."
