Notes |
Notes from Kloss, William, et al. Art in the White House: A Nation's Pride. Washington, D.C.: The White House Historical Association, 2008: "The casualness in Thompson's rendering of the scene reflects the reality. That only one cannon seems to be firing indicates the desultory nature of the maneuver. . . . Members of the drum corps lounge about, and the air of nonengagement is in keeping with the softly painted autumnal centerpiece of the scene, pumpkins scattered among corn shocks. . . . All the details are subordinated to the panoramic sweep of the landscape, itself calm and peaceful despite the puff of smoke from the cannon. . . . "Although the action depicted occurred in October 1861, the painting . . . must have been executed much later from sketches, since Thompson left America before the end of 1861."
