What does the The Cleveland Museum of Art say about this artwork made by William Sidney Mount? (© - by The Cleveland Museum of Art - www.clevelandart.org)

Set in rural Long Island before the Civil War, Mount's complex painting presents an African American laborer listening intently to a fiddle tune enjoyed by white men. While a love of music unites the figures in a bond of shared humanity, the two races occupy different spaces--one inside, one outside, both separated by a barn door--effectively symbolizing the pronounced divisions in America at the time.
