Created in 1860, this work exemplifies Lane's mastery in depicting the serenity and clarity of light on the New England coastline. The painting portrays a tranquil maritime scene where a sailing vessel is becalmed near Halfway Rock, a small, rocky island located in Maine's Penobscot Bay, an area that Lane frequently visited and found inspiration in.

Lane's use of perspective and his ability to capture the nuances of natural light are evident in this work, which is considered a fine example of the luminist style that emerged in American art in the mid-19th century.
