About the piece
Created in 1874, Winslow Homer's 'School Time' depicts a group of children and their teacher outside a vibrant red schoolhouse. Set against a lush, wooded mountain, the scene exemplifies Homer's mastery of light and his ability to elevate everyday moments of 19th-century American life into a timeless pastoral composition.
