Thanksgiving Day in the Army - After Dinner: The Wish-Bone is a 1864 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This image shows three men in military uniforms, sitting on a bench. The man on the left is holding a pipe and looking at the man in the middle, who is holding a wishbone. The man on the right is looking down, with his hands on his knees. The men are wearing dark jackets and hats, and they have facial hair. There are some objects on the ground in front of them, including a mug and a piece of paper. In the background, there are some tents and other people sitting around. The scene appears to be set in a military camp, possibly during the American Civil War. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and contrast in the image.
