The artwork, titled “Comet,” was created by Jamie Wyeth in 1997. It is an oil painting on panel, measuring 121.9 x 101.6 cm, and is classified under the art movement of Contemporary Realism. The genre of this piece is landscape, and it currently resides in a private collection.
“Comet” features a prominent lighthouse standing tall under a dynamic sky filled with dramatic clouds, which are painted in vivid shades of blue and white. The lighthouse itself, bathed in sunlight, casts a golden hue against the sky. In the foreground, a seagull rests on the ground, creating a naturalistic element that enhances the overall serene landscape. The painting exquisitely merges the architectural prominence of a lighthouse with the simplicity of a resting seabird, embodying a sense of tranquility and timelessness that Jamie Wyeth deftly captures in his works.
