About this work

This young Winslow Homer painting shows a girl by a wooden stile with sheet music in her hands. She stands against a bright sky, her dress simple, the scene quiet and full of light. The sheet music looks like a real piece from the 1850s, not just a prop. Check out another Homer work like *Snap the Whip* at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
