A Snow Slide in the City

Winslow Homer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black-and-white illustration of a chaotic scene. The title "A SNOW SLIDE IN THE CITY" is at the bottom. People in 19th-century clothing are shown, with some wearing top hats and long coats. A large pile of snow is on the right side, with people sliding down it on their feet or bottoms. Some people are standing around, watching or trying to help others. A dog is at the bottom right. In the background, there are buildings, including one with a storefront and a sign that reads "OPEN". There is a lamppost on the right side. The overall atmosphere suggests a fun and lively winter scene in an urban setting.
