"Small Sloop" is a painting by the prominent American artist Winslow Homer (1836–1910). Created in 1880, this work is an example of Homer's mastery in depicting marine subjects, a theme that became central to his oeuvre following his move to the coastal village of Prouts Neck, Maine, in 1883. The painting measures 12 1/4 x 19 1/4 inches (31.1 x 48.9 cm) and is executed in watercolor and graphite on off-white wove paper, a medium that Homer favored for its ability to capture the transient effects of light and atmosphere.

The artwork features a small sloop, a single-masted boat with a fore-and-aft rig, navigating through coastal waters. Homer's deft handling of the watercolor medium is evident in the fluidity of the sea and sky, which convey a sense of movement and the changing conditions of the marine environment. The sloop is rendered with precise detail, suggesting the artist's intimate knowledge of nautical craft and his keen observation of maritime life.

"Small Sloop" is characteristic of Homer's watercolors from the 1880s, a period when he produced some of his most critically acclaimed works. The painting is noted for its simplicity of composition and the artist's ability to evoke the vastness of the sea with minimal elements. It reflects Homer's transition from illustration to fine art and his growing interest in capturing the natural world.

The painting is part of the collection of The Art Institute of Chicago, which houses one of the most extensive collections of Homer's works. "Small Sloop" is often studied within the context of Homer's artistic development and his contribution to American art, particularly in the genre of marine painting. It continues to be appreciated for its technical skill and its evocative portrayal of the sea, a subject that has fascinated viewers and artists alike for centuries.
