President Lincoln, General Grant, and Tad Lincoln at a Railway Station is a 1887 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows three men standing together at a railway station. President Lincoln is in the center, wearing a tall hat and a long coat. General Grant is to his right, dressed in a military uniform. Tad Lincoln, the president's son, stands to the left of his father. The background is blurry, but it appears to be a train station with a few people milling about. The artist has used a mix of realistic and impressionistic techniques to capture the scene. The figures are rendered in detail, but the background is softer and more impressionistic. The painting is held at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
Winslow Homer (February 24, 1836 – September 29, 1910) was an American landscape painter and illustrator, best known for his marine subjects.
