Rip Van Winkle

The painting depicts a chaotic scene. A group of men, women and children are gathered. A man with long white hair and a blue jacket is being carried by two men. He wears yellow pants and white boots. The man on the left has a blue coat with orange lining and a black tricorn hat. He stands with his hand on his hip. A man on the right wears a brown vest, white shirt and tan pants. He holds a musket. A boy in an orange shirt kicks a man on the ground. A large wooden building with a steeply pitched roof and a brick chimney stands in the background. A smaller building with a flagpole flying an American flag is also visible. A wooden boat sits on the shore. The sky appears overcast. The people wear colonial-style clothing.
