The Morning Bell is a 1873 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white scene shows a group of people in old-fashioned clothes near a schoolhouse. A boy is climbing a rope strung between two poles, while two women stand on the steps talking. Another woman walks toward them, and a man stands apart, leaning on a ladder. The schoolhouse has a simple roof and small windows, with a tree nearby. The title *The Morning Bell* hints this might be about starting the school day. The clothing and buildings look like they’re from the 1800s.
