Home from the War is a 1863 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a crowded scene of people in old-fashioned clothes. A woman in a long dress sits with her head down, holding a child. A man in a military uniform stands nearby, looking tense. Others around them seem busy or worried, with hats and coats in various styles. The title *Home from the War* hints this might be about soldiers returning. The quick, sketchy lines and dark shading give it a rough, urgent feel. Next, check out Realism to see how artists used everyday scenes like this.
Winslow Homer (February 24, 1836 – September 29, 1910) was an American landscape painter and illustrator, best known for his marine subjects.
