1857
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Late William Wood is a 1857 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in his later years. He’s wearing a high-collared coat with a cravat tied neatly at his neck. His face is serious, with deep lines around his eyes and mouth. The background is plain, so the focus stays on his expression and clothes. The artist drew his hair in short, tight curls and shaded his face carefully to show texture. The label at the bottom reads *The Late William Wood*—this was made after the man’s death. If you like this style, look up Realism next. It’s an art movement that focused on everyday people and honest details.
Winslow Homer (February 24, 1836 – September 29, 1910) was an American landscape painter and illustrator, best known for his marine subjects.
