The Morning Walk - Young Ladies' School Promenading the Avenue is a 1868 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a group of young women and one man walking down a city street. The women wear long dresses with big skirts, some holding umbrellas or gloves. The man on the left has a cane and a top hat. Trees line the sidewalk, and a building with a sign in French is visible in the background. The caption calls it a "morning walk," suggesting these students are out for a school outing. The drawing looks like it was made from life, not just imagination.
