Context:
John George Brown's preference for rural subjects in a time when the United States was undergoing rapid industrialization suggests a nostalgia for the past. In The Boat Builder, a man pauses from his work and looks over his spectacles towards the viewer. This image of the worker as a kind, elderly craftsman peacefully working on his own, offered a comforting alternative to the brutal reality of modern factory life.
