Sunday 1897 is a 1921 by George Bellows, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a group of people riding in a horse-drawn carriage. The man in the front holds his hat like he’s waving. The woman next to him fans herself. The background is blurry, but you can see trees and a street. Everyone is dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The artist used quick, loose lines to show movement. The faces look lively, even though it’s just a sketch. The date in the corner says *Sunday 1897*, but the painting was made later. Check out George Bellows (American, 1882–1925) to see more of his bold, sketchy style.
