The artwork, named “Wintertime,” was created by Haddon Sundblom in 1950. It is an oil painting on canvas representing the Regionalism art movement. This genre painting measures 55.88 by 45.72 centimeters.
The artwork depicts a scene involving three figures in an interior setting. Central to the composition is a man gazing stoically into the distance, dressed in a blue shirt with a yellow vest. To his right, there is a woman in a green dress, partially covered by an orange shawl, looking up at him with a tender expression while holding a yellow flower. On the left side of the canvas, another male figure, dressed in a green uniform decorated with medals, appears to be watching the interaction with a scrutinizing look. The presence of an American flag in the background adds a patriotic tone to the scene. The mood conveyed through the warm palette and emotive expressions highlights a narrative imbued with elements of duty, affection, and possibly farewell.
