Among the Old Poets is a 1887 by John Parker Davis, a Impressionism work, depicting Reading, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting shows a group of old poets sitting together. They seem to be discussing something. The artist put a lot of detail into their clothes and books. The poets are dressed in old-fashioned clothing, which suggests they are from a different time. This detail makes the painting more interesting because it shows the artist's attention to historical detail. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of sfumato.
John Parker Davis (1832–1910) was an American artist.
