Product Details:

Reading News by Julian Scott beautifully captures a quiet yet intimate moment amid the harshness of war. Two Union soldiers are shown reclining in a shallow trench or along a tree line, surrounded by the desolation of a cut-over battlefield. One soldier, propped against a tree stump, listens intently while the other reads aloud from a letter or newspaper. Their relaxed postures and the calm expression on the listening soldier's face contrast sharply with the broken, stump-filled terrain—a reminder of the ever-present war surrounding them. Their rifles rest nearby, signaling readiness, yet the moment is suspended in stillness, grounded in connection and reflection rather than action.
