"Dad's Coming!" is an 1873 oil painting by the prominent American artist Winslow Homer. Known for his landscapes, marine subjects, and scenes of outdoor life, Homer's work captures the essence of American culture and life in the post-Civil War era. "Dad's Coming!" is a quintessential example of his early work, showcasing his skill in depicting everyday moments with emotional depth and narrative clarity.

The painting portrays a coastal scene, likely inspired by Homer's experiences and observations in Gloucester, Massachusetts, where he spent the summer of 1873. It features two young children on the shore, with the older child, a girl, shading her eyes as she looks out to sea. The title suggests that the children are anticipating the return of their father, presumably a fisherman or sailor, creating a sense of expectancy and familial bond that resonates with viewers.

Homer's use of light and shadow, along with his attention to the naturalistic details of the sea and sky, contribute to the painting's evocative atmosphere. The artist's ability to convey the vastness of the ocean against the intimate human element of the children's anticipation is a testament to his mastery of the genre.

"Dad's Coming!" is held in high regard for its technical proficiency and its poignant representation of 19th-century American life. It is part of a larger body of Homer's work that reflects the nation's changing relationship with the sea and the significance of maritime industries to coastal communities. The painting is an important piece within Homer's oeuvre and continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and cultural significance.

As a work that predates Homer's later, more famous seascapes, "Dad's Coming!" provides insight into the development of his style and thematic interests. It remains an important example of American realism and the genre of narrative painting, capturing a moment that is both specific in its setting and universal in its emotional resonance.
