The Last Days of Harvest is a 1873 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white drawing shows two people working in a field at harvest time. One sits on the ground, shelling corn by hand, while another squats nearby, holding ears of corn. In the background, a horse pulls a wagon loaded with people, and tall plants sway around them. The title says it’s the *last days of harvest*, so this is likely the end of a long season of hard work. The artist used simple lines to show the effort and quiet focus of the workers. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this drawing in person.
Winslow Homer (February 24, 1836 – September 29, 1910) was an American landscape painter and illustrator, best known for his marine subjects.
