1857
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Captain J. W. Watkins is a 1857 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in his 50s. He’s wearing a high-collared coat with a bow tie, and his hair is curly and combed back. The drawing is simple but shows his serious expression clearly. Notice the way the artist used shading to make his face look three-dimensional. The lines are clean but not too detailed, keeping the focus on his face and clothes. If you like this style, look up Realism next—it’s all about showing people and things exactly as they appear.
Winslow Homer (February 24, 1836 – September 29, 1910) was an American landscape painter and illustrator, best known for his marine subjects.
