More about this artwork
This painting by William James Glackens, titled "Then We All Went Home," captures a scene filled with movement and interaction. The artwork is predominantly sketched in monochrome, giving it a timeless and somewhat nostalgic feel. Set in what appears to be a rustic town street, surrounded by houses with prominent chimneys and textured rooftops, the composition draws the viewer into a moment of casual camaraderie among three men.Centered in the foreground are three figures: one wearing a top hat, another in a bowler hat, and the third in a more casual flat cap, walking side by side. They are portrayed in mid-gesture and conversation, which suggests a sense of ongoing dialogue or debate. The man in the top hat seems to be the focal point, positioned slightly forward and holding what could be a cigarette or small cigar. His attire and accessories, including a dark overcoat buttoned up, contrast with the somewhat lighter clothing of his companions, mark him as potentially a figure of relative authority or prominence within the group.Behind them, the street extends into the distance with other minor figures moving or standing, contributing to the sense of daily life and activity.
