Product details:

Painted soon after General Robert E. Lees surrender on April 9, 1865, and President Abraham Lincolns assassination five days later, Homers canvas depicts an emblematic farmer, revealed to be a Union veteran as well by his discarded jacket and canteen at the lower right. His old-fashioned scythe evokes the Grim Reaper, recalling the wars harvest of death and expressing grief at Lincolns murder. A redemptive feature is the bountiful wheat-a northern crop-which could connote the Unions victory. Referring to death and life, Homers iconic composition offers a powerful meditation on Americas sacrifices and its potential for recovery. Multiple sizes available. Primary colors within this image include Dark Red, Black, Brown, Pale Blue. Made in the USA. Inks used are latex-based and designed to last.
