▷━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◁
According to the Museum of Fine Arts, the boys in this painting - companionable, idle, at peace - may be seen as emblems of America's nostalgia for a simpler, more innocent time as well as of its hope for the future. Their faces are averted, a device Homer often used to make his figures less individual and, therefore, more universal.
