Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is a 1858 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in a long coat and bow tie. His hands are tucked into his coat pockets, and his hair is neatly combed back. The drawing is simple but shows his serious expression clearly. The sketch was made in 1858, and the artist focused on capturing the person’s face and clothing. The lines are loose, giving it a sketchy feel. If you like this style, look up Realism next—it’s an art movement that focused on everyday people and plain details.
Winslow Homer (February 24, 1836 – September 29, 1910) was an American landscape painter and illustrator, best known for his marine subjects.
