About the piece
Painted by Winslow Homer in 1866, this work captures a moment of repose for African American teamsters during the Civil War era. The composition is defined by the stark white geometry of the tent which casts a cool shadow over the resting men, while the background reveals a bustling camp of supply wagons and pack animals under a wide, clear sky.
