The Dinner Horn

after Winslow Homer

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a person blowing a horn outside a building. The image features a figure at the entrance of a building calling into the distance with a horn. The person is dressed in late 19th-century clothing. A cat is walking nearby. The building has wooden siding, an open entrance, and light casting shadows inside. Ivy trails along the roof's edge. Fields stretch out towards the horizon under a light sky with clouds.
