Sutler's Tent, 3rd Pennsylvania Cavalry [recto]

Winslow Homer

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a group of military figures in a camp scene. The image shows individuals gathered under a makeshift shelter supported by wooden poles and intersecting branches. The scene depicts a moment of rest or casual interaction within a military camp, based on the uniforms and hats worn by the figures. The drawing is done in a sketch style, offering only an outline and minimal details. The setting appears rustic and temporary with the structure of the shelter and the positioning of the figures, some of whom seem to be leaning or sitting on makeshift benches or tables.
