"Hound and Hunter" is a notable sketch by the American artist Winslow Homer, who is widely regarded for his landscape paintings and depictions of American life in the late 19th century. The sketch serves as a preliminary study for Homer's 1892 oil painting of the same name, which is held in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The sketch captures a moment of tension and action, featuring a young hunter and his hound in the aftermath of a hunt.

In the composition, the hunter is seen in a canoe, having just secured a deer, with the hound nearby in the water. The sketch likely served as a means for Homer to work out the composition and details of the final painting. It is characterized by its loose, expressive lines and the effective conveyance of movement and drama, which are hallmarks of Homer's sketches.

Winslow Homer is known for his ability to capture the essence of American life and the interaction between humans and nature. "Hound and Hunter" is no exception, as it explores themes of survival, the human-animal bond, and the wilderness. The sketch, along with the painting, has been analyzed for its portrayal of the relationship between the hunter and the hunted, and the ethical implications of the scene depicted.

As a study for one of Homer's significant works, the "Hound and Hunter" sketch is an important piece within the artist's oeuvre, providing insight into his artistic process and the development of his ideas from initial concept to finished artwork. The sketch is an example of the preparatory work that often precedes a major painting, demonstrating the thoughtful planning and experimentation that underpins the creative process of a master artist like Homer.
