Most golf pictures of this period show a swing in motion, but this watercolor shows a golfer at rest, seated beside his clubs. The record dates it to about 1899, when golf was spreading quickly across the United States from its Scottish roots, with new clubs and courses drawing players from the middle and upper classes. Illustrators of the time often used such scenes to capture the leisure habits and fashions of the day, and the relaxed pose suggests a pause between rounds. The sitter is unnamed, and the uncertain date leaves much of the story to the viewer's eye.
