The Brierwood Pipe
The Brierwood Pipe, 1864 is an oil painting by Winslow Homer of two men from the 5th New York Volunteer Infantry(Duryee Zouaves).
The title may refer to a popular poem of the day about the 5th New York Zouaves, titled "The Brier-Wood Pipe."[1] "Two of the most famous Zouave outfits in the Army of the Potomac were from New York, Duryees and Hawkins's."[2]
It is also known as Making Brier-root Pipes, Making Brierwood Pipes, and other similar variants.
As of 2012, the painting is on display at the Smithsonian American Art Museum,[2] from the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art.[3]
