Legal note: We try the best we can to depict our products as precisely as possible and to display them visually. Still, some pigments of the print materials, as well as the imprint can diverge to a certain extent from the presentation on your device's monitor. Depending on your screen settings and the quality of the surface, not all colors are printed as exactly as the digital version. Since all art prints are printed and processed by hand, there may as well be minor deviations in the size and exact position of the motif.

General specifications from the museum (© - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

This painting is one of a group of three canvases (84.12a--c) said to have been inspired by the imagined narrative of an African American soldier in the Civil War. In "The Contraband," (84.12a) the newly emancipated slave, his belongings wrapped in an old kerchief, seeks enlistment in the Union army. Having been trained for service and wearing his uniform, he looks happy and proud in "The Recruit." In "The Veteran," (84.12c) he is an amputee returning to the same office to draw his back pay or pension. Wood used a slightly different palette and handling in each picture, suggesting that the works were not painted in quick succession.
