Summer in the Country is a 1869 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, depicting Summer, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white sketch shows four women playing croquet in a grassy field. The woman on the right swings a mallet at a ball, while the others stand around, watching or holding their own mallets. Their dresses are long and fancy, and the scene looks relaxed and sunny, even though it’s drawn in shades of gray. The title *Summer in the Country* hints this is about leisure time outdoors. The artist used simple lines to show movement and focus on the activity, not fancy details. If you like this, check out Winslow Homer’s other work.
