Old Mill 1871

"Old Mill" (1871) by Winslow Homer portrays a serene rural scene. A lone woman in a red jacket walks away from a wooden mill building, passing over a long wooden bridge. The setting is tranquil, with a lush forest background and a dog on the bridge, emphasizing the quiet solitude of rural life. Homer's depiction of everyday life in America during the 19th century is characteristic of his realist style and remains a popular example of his work.
