Eagle Head, Manchester, Massachusetts (High Tide): Winslow Homer

Eagle Head, Manchester, Massachusetts (High Tide) is a landscape oil on canvas painting by American artist Winslow Homer. It was painted in 1870 in the American Realist style. This work is located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, New York.

This painting depicts three bathers – all of which appear to be women, at a beach in Manchester, Massachusetts, and a small dog. This contemporary scene is quite daring in the post-civil war United States – there is little glamor and staging – none of the subjects are facing the viewer – this is a subtle – and normal – scene of everyday life.
