1874
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Answering the Horn is a 1874 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows two people in a grassy field. The person on the left is holding a long stick, and a dog sits at their feet. The person on the right is raising one arm, like they’re waving or signaling. Both are dressed in simple, loose clothes, and the lines around them are rough and scratchy. The title says "Answering the Horn," which hints this might be about communication or a call. The style looks like it’s drawn quickly, with lots of cross-hatching to show light and shadow. If you like this sketchy, expressive style, check out Realism next.
