Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Winslow Homer, 1836-1910, And, Eastman Johnson, 1824-1906
One of Homer's delightful representations of childhood, devoid of sentimentality is his canvas of two boys stretched out on the grass. There is a disarming charm in the rounded outline of the boy's cheek and a little decorative touch in the two ?owers on his hat. A simplified cubic form of the barn and broad treatment of the figures contribute to a general simple statement of youth outdoors.
