Eight Bells

Winslow Homer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white drawing of two men, "Eight Bells" by Winslow Homer. The two men are standing side-by-side, both wearing helmets and jackets, and looking out at the sea. The man on the left is holding a device with a tripod and appears to be looking through it. The man on the right is holding a similar device but without a tripod. The sea is depicted with waves and white foam. The sky above is cloudy. The drawing is done in a detailed, realistic style with shading and texture. The men are positioned on what appears to be a deck or a ship, with a railing visible at the bottom.
