Image description

Set in rural Long Island before the Civil War, this scene of an African American laborer eavesdropping on a fiddle tune suggests the divisive race relations in America at the time. While a love of music connects the men and acknowledges their common humanity, they nevertheless occupy different spaces. The barn door that separates the labourer likely serves as a symbolic reminder that he lacked the political rights and social privileges of the group of white men inside.
