"Prepare, America!" is a 1916 by George Bellows, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This image depicts a black-and-white drawing of a man and woman standing together, with the man's right arm raised in a gesture. The woman is dressed in a long coat and hat, while the man wears a suit and cap. In the background, there are trees and bushes, as well as a group of people sitting on a bench. The drawing appears to be a scene from everyday life, with the couple engaged in conversation. The man's raised arm suggests that he may be making a point or emphasizing something. The style of the drawing is reminiscent of early 20th-century American art, with bold lines and expressive brushstrokes. The use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene.
