Sunday after Christmas 1848 is a 1868 ink by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a boy holding a book, with a smaller figure nearby. The boy is wearing a hat, vest, and pants, while the smaller figure has a stick-like body and is labeled "Dan Wally." The background is a plain beige color. The drawing includes some handwritten notes, including a quote about books and a mention of Christmas 1848. The handwriting is cursive and difficult to read in some places. The drawing is a charming example of a simple yet expressive piece of art.
