"The Nooning" is an oil painting by the prominent American artist Winslow Homer, created in 1872. This work is an exemplar of Homer's early style, which often depicted scenes of rural American life with a focus on the leisurely activities and the relationship between humans and nature. The painting measures 16 x 24 inches and is part of the collection at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.

In "The Nooning," Homer portrays a tranquil scene of a farmhand taking a rest in the shade, suggesting a midday break, which is where the title of the piece is derived. The composition is characterized by its serene atmosphere and the use of light to emphasize the languid mood of a hot summer day. The figure is stretched out on the grass, lying against a haystack, with his scythe resting beside him, indicating the labor from which he is taking a respite. A dog, often seen as a symbol of loyalty and companionship, is also at rest nearby, further contributing to the peacefulness of the scene.

The painting is notable for its realistic depiction of the rural American landscape and the lifelike representation of the farmhand. Homer's attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of the moment reflect his skill as a storyteller through visual means. "The Nooning" is a fine example of Homer's work during a period when he was transitioning from his early career as a commercial illustrator to a respected figure in the American art scene, known for his landscapes and genre paintings.

Winslow Homer (1836–1910) is considered one of the foremost painters in 19th-century American art. His work is celebrated for its realism, emphasis on color, and depiction of American life and landscapes. "The Nooning" is a testament to Homer's talent in capturing the simplicity and beauty of everyday moments, and it remains an important piece in the study of his early artistic development.
