Lumbering in Winter is a 1871 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows two men working in a snowy forest. One man in the front is swinging an axe at a tree stump, wearing heavy boots and a cap. The other man stands farther back, also holding an axe, near a tall tree with thick bark. The ground is covered in snow and scattered with logs. The artist included small details like the man’s snowshoes lying on the ground, which show how people moved through deep snow. The scene looks cold and hard work.
