The Coolest Spot in New England - Summit of Mount Washington is a 1870 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows five people on a rocky cliff overlooking a distant landscape. Two women in fancy dresses stand near the edge, while three men in hats sit below them. One man holds a telescope, another leans on a rifle, and the third looks out at the view. The sky is partly cloudy, and a small sign reads "Tip-Top House." Notice how the artist uses simple lines to show the wind in the women’s dresses and the rough texture of the rocks. The scene looks like a quiet moment of adventure. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this sketch in person.
Winslow Homer (February 24, 1836 – September 29, 1910) was an American landscape painter and illustrator, best known for his marine subjects.
