The Nooning, Winslow Homer, Harper's Weekly 1873

A wood engraving of a midday rest on a farm: a reclining figure in a wide-brimmed hat lies in the grass beside a seated boy in a straw hat and a girl, while a dog sleeps nearby. A white farmhouse, a shade tree and laundry on a line complete the scene, printed on a Harper's Weekly page.
