About this work

This sketch shows a group of five people sitting at a table, talking and drinking. The woman in the center holds a glass and looks lively, while the others lean in, listening. Behind them, shelves hold books and a framed portrait of a man with a beard. The title hints this might be about politics, but the scene feels more like a casual gathering. The artist used simple lines and shading to show movement and expressions. Next, check out Winslow Homer (American, 1836–1910) for more of his work.
