"Sharpshooter" is a notable artwork by the American artist Winslow Homer, created in 1863 during the American Civil War. This piece is significant for its portrayal of a Union sharpshooter perched in a tree, aiming his rifle, embodying the solitary and deadly nature of this type of soldier's role in the conflict. Homer, who had firsthand experience of the war as a correspondent for "Harper's Weekly," brings a level of authenticity and immediacy to this work that captures the tension and grim reality of warfare.

The artwork is executed as a wood engraving, a medium that allowed for the mass reproduction and dissemination of images through periodicals of the time, making Homer's depictions of the war accessible to a wide audience. "Sharpshooter" stands out for its technical proficiency and the way it conveys the story and atmosphere through the interplay of light and shadow, emphasizing the isolation and focus of the sharpshooter in his lethal task.

This piece is often discussed in the context of Homer's broader body of work for its exploration of themes of war, individual duty, and the psychological intensity of combat. It reflects a shift in the portrayal of war from heroic and idealized to a more realistic and personal perspective, marking an important moment in the evolution of American art. "Sharpshooter" is not only a testament to Homer's skill as an artist but also serves as a poignant commentary on the nature of war and the human condition within it.
