"A Basket of Clams" is an 1873 painting by American artist Winslow Homer. This work is a watercolor on paper and is part of a series of paintings that Homer created during the early 1870s, which depict scenes of leisure and daily life along the northeastern coast of the United States, particularly in the state of Massachusetts. The painting measures 33.7 cm by 50.2 cm and is currently held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

The painting features a group of young boys on a clam-digging expedition, a common pastime and source of livelihood in coastal communities. The central figure is a boy who is seated and holding a basket filled with clams, suggesting a successful harvest. The composition captures the simplicity and innocence of childhood, as well as the connection between humans and the natural world. Homer's use of watercolor in "A Basket of Clams" is noted for its luminosity and the way it conveys the atmospheric effects of light and air, which would become a hallmark of his later works.

Winslow Homer (1836–1910) is widely regarded as one of the foremost painters in American art history. Known for his marine subjects and powerful depictions of nature, Homer began his career as a commercial illustrator before turning to painting. His works often reflect themes of human interaction with the environment, the sea, and the rugged landscape of the American Northeast.

"A Basket of Clams" is considered an important work within Homer's oeuvre, as it showcases his early engagement with watercolor and his ability to capture the essence of American rural and coastal life during the post-Civil War era. The painting is appreciated for its historical value and artistic merit, contributing to our understanding of American art and culture in the late 19th century.
