Winslow Homer

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing on a beige background. A man and woman are in center. Woman wears dress with ruffles on bottom and hat with feathers on top. Man, behind her to the left, has facial hair and wears top hat, suit, and coat with a cape. A broom, floral designs, coins, and people's faces are on left. A child in military costume and a building are on right. Text below reads, "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is his. Lord, have mercy upon us, and write all these thy laws in our hearts, we beseech thee." The top reads, "Tenth Commandment" and "New York, Saturday, March 12, 1870." in a newspaper format. The drawing is by Winslow Homer.
