The Dinner Horn is a 1870 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
A woman in a long dress stands on a porch, holding a curved horn to her mouth like a trumpet. Behind her, an open window shows a room with a cat peeking out. Outside, a grassy yard stretches toward a distant field with a few buildings. The cat’s tail flicks as it watches the woman, who seems to be calling someone. The scene looks like a quiet moment in everyday life. If you like this, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like it.
