End of the Day, 1955
Wood Engraving
Still in his work clothes, a man walks with his dog, hunching from the weight and the work of the day. The buoys hanging in the tree suggest this gentleman’s profession. Although the light is dim, one can see that each blade of grass is encouraging him home to rest. The birds are out scavenging for their supper and the sunlight is fading, reflecting off of the calm surface of the sea at the end of the day. Presented from the opposite direction, this home appears to be the same house depicted in House at the Cove (displayed to the right).
