"The Boat Builders" is an 1873 oil painting by the prominent American artist Winslow Homer. Renowned for his marine subjects, Homer captures the essence of coastal life through the depiction of two young boys building a small wooden boat on a pebbly beach. The painting is a testament to Homer's skill in rendering the interplay of light and his keen observation of everyday activities.

Measuring 24 3/4 x 16 inches (62.9 x 40.6 cm), the artwork is part of the collection at the Indianapolis Museum of Art in Indiana, United States. "The Boat Builders" is often celebrated for its portrayal of youthful innocence and industrious spirit, set against the backdrop of the sea, which would become a central theme in Homer's later works.

In this piece, Homer's use of color and light reflects the influence of contemporary French painting, while also showcasing his distinctly American perspective. The composition focuses on the two boys engrossed in their task, with one holding a model for reference, suggesting a narrative of apprenticeship and the passing down of skills. The sea in the background, calm and inviting, contrasts with the diligent activity of the boys, creating a serene yet dynamic scene.

"The Boat Builders" is considered an important work in Homer's oeuvre, illustrating his transition from illustration to fine art and his growing interest in themes of nature, the sea, and the American experience. The painting has been widely studied and admired for its technical excellence and its evocative portrayal of 19th-century American coastal life.
