Winslow Homer

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white illustration of three boys on a sandy cliff. The boy at the top of the cliff wears a wide brimmed hat, long sleeved collared shirt and long pants. He is reaching into a hole in the side of a cliff. The two boys at the bottom of the cliff are wearing similar clothing and one is wearing a hat. They are looking up at the boy at the top of the cliff. The cliff has tufts of grass growing on top and there are birds flying all around. The image is presented on a background resembling aged paper with 'HARPER'S WEEKLY' at the top, a date in the upper right, and a number in the upper left. There is a caption at the bottom.
