About this work

This sketch shows two people in a grassy, rocky field. One person stands holding an open umbrella, dressed in a long skirt and simple blouse. The other sits on a rock, sketching with a small book and pencil, wearing a cap and loose jacket. The umbrella is open even though the sky is clear—maybe for shade. The artist’s focus suggests they’re deeply absorbed in their work. Next, check out Winslow Homer (American, 1836–1910).
