Peach Blossoms is a 1878 oil by Winslow Homer, a american_impressionism work, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
The painting shows a young woman looking at peach blossoms. She's standing in a quiet, natural setting. This scene is interesting because it reflects a time when people were moving from rural areas to cities, and the artist is looking back at that simpler life. The artist's style in this work is similar to that of other painters who used a technique called glazing.
