About the piece

Painted in 1868 by Thomas Waterman Wood, 'New Cider' is a masterful example of American genre painting. The work depicts a candid interaction in a rustic cider mill, where the play of light highlights rich textures—from the coarse straw on the floor to the weathered wood of the barrels and the expressive features of the subjects.
