"A Country Store – Getting Weighed" is a wood engraving by American artist Winslow Homer from 1871. This piece depicts a bustling country store with a group of women waiting to be weighed by the shopkeeper. The engraving is a fine example of Homer's ability to capture the details of everyday life in the 19th century, and the work highlights his keen observation of the human condition.
