Last fall, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston hosted a celebrated exhibit honoring Winslow Homer. Visitors may recognize The Boston Common, an illustration Homer created early in his career for Harper’s Weekly. The scene captures Beacon Street’s brownstones, the wind sweeping across the Common, and small details — a boy chasing his hat, dresses moving in the breeze — that bring 19th-century Boston to life.

We’re pleased to offer this framed illustration here at the gallery, thoughtfully presented and ready for display.

In addition, with Valentine’s Day approaching, we’re featuring The First Valentine, believed to be by Homer. This intimate domestic scene shows a young girl opening her Valentine while her family gathers nearby. The custom framing — including a red inner mat, cream linen outer mat, and gold frame — complements the warmth and charm of the piece.

Both works are available for purchase. We invite you to visit the gallery to experience them in person.
