The Robin's Note 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 net stretched wide. She’s reaching up, maybe to catch something in the air. Behind her, a pillar and a curtain frame the scene, while outside, trees and grass blur into soft lines. Her dress has ruffles at the hem, and she’s wearing a dark collar. The net she holds is full of tiny dangling bells—maybe to scare birds away. The whole scene feels quiet and still. Look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see where this picture lives.
Winslow Homer (February 24, 1836 – September 29, 1910) was an American landscape painter and illustrator, best known for his marine subjects.
