The New Year - 1869

Winslow Homer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The New Year - 1869 by Winslow Homer: A grayscale illustration depicts a nighttime scene with a child riding a penny-farthing bicycle; the child wears a crown with a flower pattern and a sleeveless shirt and shorts. A winged woman in a sleeveless dress and bracelets on both wrists appears to be dragging a cape-like garment. A man pushes a wheelbarrow filled with leaves marked '1868'. A city skyline with several spires and a clock tower is visible in the background, and a full moon with a dog on top shines brightly. The scene appears on a newspaper page with text along the edges.
