The Georgia Delegation in Congress is a 1861 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a black-and-white drawing of nine men in suits and ties. Their faces are serious, and they’re arranged in three rows, like a group photo. Some have beards, others don’t, and all are looking straight ahead. The names under each face are labeled, and the text at the bottom says it’s a Georgia delegation. The style looks like a sketch, with simple lines and shading. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this up close.
