Owl's Head, Penobscot Bay, Maine
Fitz Henry Lane1862
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
Boston, MA, United States
Lane painted Owl's Head (named for its distinctive profile) from the east, with the Camden Hills beyond. The land formations delicately mirrored in still water, the clear sky, and the pale, salmon colors of early morning emphasize the atmosphere rather than the topography of the site.
