Rainy Day in Camp

Winslow Homer

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a scene of four men in a military camp. The men are wearing long coats and hats. One man sits in a chair while another stands to his right. A third man stands on the left. The fourth man stands behind the seated man. The background features a line of horses and a row of tents, some white and some with colored stripes. There are also several wooden barrels and a wagon wheel visible. The sky is blue with white clouds. The ground appears to be dirt or mud. A horse stands to the right, tied to a post.
