About this work

This drawing shows a rural scene with people and animals moving corn. Two men lead a pair of oxen pulling a cart piled high with cornstalks. A woman and child walk beside them, carrying bundles. In the background, a small house and a few trees sit near a dirt road, while a dog rests on the ground. The title *Driving Home the Corn* hints this is about farm life. The artist focused on everyday work, not fancy poses or landscapes. Next, check out Winslow Homer (American, 1836–1910) to see more of his work.
