Homer, primarily known for his marine subjects and depictions of American life, ventured into capturing the grandeur and spectacle of the exposition through this piece. The painting is distinguished by its masterful use of watercolor, a medium in which Homer excelled, to convey the interplay of light and shadow. The vibrant hues and dynamic brushstrokes effectively depict the dazzling illumination of the fountains against the night sky, creating a sense of awe and wonder that visitors to the fair would have experienced.
