The Robin's Note, Winslow Homer wood engraving, 1870

A young woman in a long ruffled dress kneels on a wooden porch beside a column, reaching up to a hanging net hammock with tassels. A bird flies in the dark garden beyond, and the bright sunlit floorboards contrast with the shaded foliage. Fine hatched lines define the figure, fabric, and foliage in this wood engraving.
