Bob- -Hallo! What's Up Now- Are Your Babies in Here-- 1881

"Bob- -Hallo! What's Up Now- Are Your Babies in Here--," an 1881 wood engraving by Winslow Homer, depicts a group of men harvesting wheat in a field. The figures are rendered in a detailed and realistic style, with a focus on the naturalism of the scene. Homer, known for his depictions of everyday life, captures the physicality of the work and the intense heat of the summer day. The scene is also notable for its composition, which leads the viewer's eye across the field and into the distance. This piece, measuring 3 1/2 x 5 3/8 in. (8.9 x 13.7 cm), is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
