The Brierwood Pipe

Winslow Homer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows two young boys or men sitting on the ground, outdoors. The person on the left has long, light-brown hair. They are wearing a red hat and a blue jacket with red trim; it has a red design on the chest. Their pants are red; their socks are white and their shoes are dark. They are holding a pipe. The second person, on the right, looks similar except their hair appears darker and is pulled back into a short pony tail. They are looking at the other person and appear to be smoking. They are sitting on brown ground with sparse greenery. Behind them are tan tents. One central tent has a pole with a flag on top. Beyond the tents is a blue sky with scattered clouds and trees on the horizon. One tree is tall and thin. Another appears bushier on top. There are several white buildings in the distance.
