"Any Thing for Me, If you Please?" - Post-Office of the Brooklyn Fair in Aid of the Sanitary Commission is a 1864 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a busy room with women in long dresses standing behind a counter. One woman holds a fan while another leans on the counter, looking down. A sign in the window reads "Sanitary Commission" and lists prices for items. In the background, a man in a hat watches from a doorway. The women seem to be selling supplies, likely for the Civil War effort. The drawing uses strong lines and shading to show the scene clearly. Check out Realism next to see more works like this one.
