This painting shows a group of people in a rural setting. There are men and women, some of whom are wearing old-fashioned clothing. In the background, there is a horse pulling a cart. The painting has a muted color palette, with lots of browns and grays. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of energy and movement. The Deserter is a great example of William Kennedy's work. If you're interested in learning more about his style and technique, you could look up the artist William Kennedy.
