Note the relationship of each boy to his boat. The boys are holding their
boats as a mother might hold her small child. Find an image that supports
the idea of a "mother/child" relationship.
In 1873, the same year Homer painted Boat Builders, he also illustrated
Lowell's book The Courtin.' All of Homer's illustrations for that book were
silhouettes.
Winslow Homer's father is shown to the left.
