About this work

This painting shows a group of kids helping on a farm. They toss corn husks into the air while a woman in a red shawl watches. Homer painted this when he was just 21. It’s one of his earliest works, made before he became known for Civil War scenes. Look up Winslow Homer (American, 1836–1910) to see how he changed over time.
