Saturday in the Museum with Winslow

Image: Winslow Homer, Fresh Eggs (1874).

On Saturday, we like to post about art that intersects with the world of food. This year our theme as been the sources of food and today we turn to the farm.

Fresh Eggs is by Winslow Homer. There is little need to provide background on Homer. The work is in the holdings of the National Gallery of Art, though it is not on display currently. That does not mean it should be overlooked. It is one of many paintings that Homer did of farm life, and he brings his touch to setting the simple scene in pattern and color.
