1868
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
"Orrin, Make Haste, I Am Perishing" is a 1868 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white drawing shows a boy in a small boat on choppy water, holding a long pole. He’s wearing a loose shirt and cap, looking back toward the shore where a bridge and trees stand. The water is full of ripples, and the shore is dark with bushes and a few bare trees. The title hints at a story—someone is calling for help, but the boy seems focused on his task. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement in the water and wind. Next, check out Winslow Homer (American, 1836–1910) for more of his bold, real-life scenes.
Winslow Homer (February 24, 1836 – September 29, 1910) was an American landscape painter and illustrator, best known for his marine subjects.
