Snap the Whip by Winslow Homer

Snap the Whip (1872)

Winslow Homer | American Realism | Oil on canvas

Barefoot country boys play a running game, holding hands in a chain. The sun shines on their game outside a little red schoolhouse!

Did you know? This was a popular game where kids held hands and ran - if you were at the end, you got 'snapped' like a whip!
