About this work

This picture shows a snowy farm scene with a few people and animals. A woman in a long dress stands by a small house, talking to a man holding a horse. Nearby, a cow stands in a fenced area, and a dog walks in the snow. Trees without leaves line the background, and a barn sits behind them. The title at the bottom says *Home to Thanksgiving*, hinting this might be about returning for a holiday meal. The artist used a method that lets colors pop on a flat surface. Look up lithography to see how this kind of print was made.
