Beached Canoe, Squall Beyond

Beached Canoe, Squall Beyond is an 1896 painting by D. Howard Hitchcock. The artwork measures 0.4572 meters wide by 0.3048 meters high. It depicts a scene of a beached canoe under a windswept tree on a shoreline. The sky is overcast, suggesting a squall or storm is approaching. The overall palette is muted, with greens, browns, and grays dominating the landscape. The tree is prominently featured, its branches bending dramatically in the wind. The canoe rests on the sandy shore, partially obscured by the tree and shadows. In the background, a low-lying landmass is visible, with hints of vegetation and possibly a small structure. The painting evokes a sense of solitude and the power of nature.
