About this work

A man shovels snow in front of a wooden house. Sunlight glints off the fresh white piles. His breath shows in the cold air. This is one of Homer’s early works. He focuses on everyday life, not grand events. The snow looks thick and heavy, like it takes real effort to move. Look up Winslow Homer (American, 1836–1910) to see more of his scenes.
