The Dinner Horn

after Winslow Homer

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a woman standing outside a small structure resembling a barn or farmhouse, holding a large horn to her lips. A cat is beside her, and the scene includes farm equipment and animals in the distance. The structure has various objects inside, including a large sack. Ivy creeps up the sides of the building, and a grassy area extends from its step, depicting a rural setting.
