"Waiting for the Stage" is an oil painting by the American artist Richard Caton Woodville, created in 1851. This work is a prime example of Woodville's genre paintings, which often depicted scenes of everyday life with a narrative quality and attention to detail. The painting portrays a group of individuals from various walks of life gathered at a tavern, presumably in anticipation of the arrival of the stagecoach. The scene is rich with social commentary and reflects the diverse American society of the mid-19th century.

In "Waiting for the Stage," Woodville's skill in capturing the character and mood of his subjects is evident. Each figure is rendered with distinct personal attributes and expressions, suggesting their individual stories and social standings. The setting is a detailed interior filled with period-appropriate furnishings and decor, which adds to the authenticity of the scene and provides context for the viewer.

The painting is notable for its fine execution and the artist's ability to convey a sense of anticipation and the passage of time. Woodville's use of lighting and composition focuses the viewer's attention on the interactions between the characters, as well as the objects that surround them, which often hold symbolic meaning.

"Waiting for the Stage" is considered an important work in Woodville's oeuvre and in the genre of American antebellum painting. It is held in high regard for its historical value, as well as its artistic merit, providing insight into the cultural and social dynamics of the era. The painting is part of the collection of the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland, Woodville's hometown, where it continues to be studied and appreciated by art historians and the public alike.
