"Milking Time" is a notable painting by the American artist Winslow Homer, created in 1875. This work is an oil on canvas and exemplifies Homer's skill in depicting rural American life during the post-Civil War period. The painting measures 17 7/8 x 24 inches (45.4 x 61 cm) and is part of the collection at the Delaware Art Museum in Wilmington, Delaware.

The scene captures a tranquil moment in the daily routine of farm life, with a young woman engaged in the task of milking a cow. The composition is set outdoors, with the figures positioned in the foreground, suggesting an intimate connection between the woman and the animal. The background features a bucolic landscape, which was a common theme in Homer's work, reflecting his interest in the natural environment and the lives of ordinary people.

Homer's use of light and shadow, along with his attention to detail, imbues the painting with a sense of realism and immediacy. The artist's brushwork and color palette contribute to the overall serene and harmonious atmosphere of the piece. "Milking Time" is considered an important work in Homer's oeuvre, as it showcases his transition from illustration to fine art and his growing mastery of the oil medium.

The painting is also significant for its portrayal of the American pastoral ideal and the role of women in the rural economy of the 19th century. It reflects a time of change and nostalgia in the United States, as the nation was moving towards industrialization and away from agrarian life. "Milking Time" has been studied for its artistic merits as well as its cultural and historical implications, making it a valuable piece for both art historians and those interested in American history.
