The Dinner Horn

after Winslow Homer

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman from the back, standing on a wooden structure holding a large horn to her mouth. She is wearing a long dress with rolled-up sleeves and a sash tied at the back. A black cat is crossing from the doorway. In the background, there is a field, a clothesline with laundry, and overcast skies. The wooden structure has a coil of rope hanging from the ceiling, miscellaneous items inside, and ivy growing outside near a window.
