1863
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Campaign Sketches: The Baggage Train is a 1863 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows two men sitting on a wooden bench inside what looks like a covered wagon. Both wear wide-brimmed hats, loose shirts, and pants tucked into tall boots. One holds a folded paper, the other rests his arm on the back of the bench. The wagon’s canvas roof is open, letting in light, and a fan-shaped shade hangs above them. A small trunk sits on the floor, and a chain dangles near the men’s feet. The title *Campaign Sketches* hints this might be from a series about soldiers or travelers. The men’s relaxed but worn clothes suggest they’ve been on the move for a while. Next, check out Realism to see how artists used everyday scenes to tell stories.
