The National Gallery of Art has a fun daily art-related game called Artle, in which you get four guesses to identify the artist behind the day’s selection of art pieces.

To be clear: While Homer made his painting about 130 years ago, I only saw it for the first time today, roughly 11 years after I made my tintype. I was not copying his painting! :-)
