"Allow Me to Examine the Young Lady"

Winslow Homer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image is a black and white illustration of a man and woman standing on either side of a table with a baby on it. The woman has curly hair and wears a long dress with puffy sleeves and a shawl. She stands on the left with her hands on the table and looks at the man. The man on the right wears a dark coat and pants and a white shirt. He looks at the woman and points to the baby. There are three other people behind the table, sitting or standing and watching. The background features a tiled floor and wood paneling on the walls. A map hangs on the left and a shelf on the right. The text at the bottom reads, "ALLOW ME TO EXAMINE THE YOUNG LADY."
