Prisoners of War

Winslow Homer, 1864

The image shows three full-bodied figures standing together in conversation. Each person is positioned standing up, with one slightly leaning to the left. The figures have indistinct facial features, and their hair is covered by wide-brimmed hats. They are dressed in simple clothing, consisting of long coats and trousers. One figure appears to have a bandaged leg. The clothing is drawn with lines indicating texture and folds. Each person has a bag slung over their shoulder. There are also two smaller sketches of individuals, one enclosed in a circular design above the main figures. The background is lightly sketched with lines suggesting a row of plants or trees.
