Story

A group of boys link hands and run across an open field, caught mid-motion in a game of snap the whip, while a red schoolhouse stands behind them and clouds gather overhead. This is an oil painting completed in 1872. Winslow Homer (1836–1910), an American artist associated with realism, painted the scene; it belongs to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
