Old '76 and Young '48 is a 1849 oil by Richard Caton Woodville, Sr., a Realism work, held at Walters Art Museum.
This painting shows a group of people gathered around a table. There's an older man with a cane, a woman in a white shawl, and a younger man in a military uniform. A dog is sitting by his feet. The room has a fireplace with a mirror above it and a red tablecloth. The scene seems to be set in the past, with the older man possibly reminiscing about his younger days. The younger man might be sharing his own experiences. The dog adds a sense of warmth and companionship to the scene.
