Póster Dressing for the Carnival by Winslow Homer

Dressing for the Carnival is an 1877 painting by the American painter, printmaker and illustrator Winslow Homer. Homer painted African Americans, completely avoiding the stereotypes with which their collective image had been flooded during the period of Reconstruction after the American Civil War. A group of people is preparing for the African-American festival known in the South as Jonkonnu and in the North as Pinkster.
