The Dinner Horn is a 1870 oil by Winslow Homer, a American Impressionism work, held at Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
This painting depicts a woman standing in a lush garden, blowing a horn. She wears a long white dress and has her back turned to the viewer. The garden is filled with greenery and flowers, and a large tree stands to her left. In the background, a field stretches out under a blue sky dotted with clouds. The woman's pose suggests she is calling out to someone, perhaps announcing a meal. The serene atmosphere of the garden and the woman's gentle action evoke a sense of tranquility. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman and the garden.
Winslow Homer (February 24, 1836 – September 29, 1910) was an American landscape painter and illustrator, best known for his marine subjects.
