... good painting by Winslow Homer from 1866. Said painter was an eyewitness of the American Civil War. It's called "Prisoners from the Front".
Look at the haircut of the confederate cavalry trooper, and notice also the Richmond Depot Type III shell jackets of the Confederates - apparently this is a scene from the last year of the war.
