1857
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Freshmen is a 1857 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows five people sitting around a small table in a dimly lit room. Four are dressed in old-fashioned suits and ties, while one woman wears a simple dress. They’re all focused on something on the table—maybe reading or playing cards—with a few books and a candle nearby. The walls have framed pictures, and a shelf holds a small statue. The drawing’s loose lines and shaded tones give it a sketchy, unfinished feel. It’s labeled *Freshmen*, which might hint at a school or college setting.
