"The Veteran in a New Field" is an oil painting by American artist Winslow Homer, created in 1865, shortly after the end of the American Civil War. The painting depicts a solitary figure, a Union veteran, who has returned to his pre-war occupation as a farmer. He is shown from behind, swinging a large scythe through a field of wheat under a hot summer sun. The painting is rich in symbolism and reflects the themes of death and rebirth, as well as the nation's hope for healing following the devastating conflict.

The artwork measures 61.2 cm by 96.5 cm and is part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. "The Veteran in a New Field" is considered one of Homer's most poignant and powerful works, capturing the complex emotions of the time. The scythe the veteran wields is reminiscent of the weapon he might have used in battle, but now serves a peaceful purpose, harvesting grain. The field of wheat can be interpreted as a metaphor for the fallen soldiers, with the act of reaping serving as a reminder of the war's grim toll.

Homer's use of light and shadow, along with the meticulous detail of the wheat stalks and the farmer's attire, contribute to the painting's evocative quality. The absence of any other figures or distractions in the composition focuses the viewer's attention on the veteran and his labor, emphasizing the theme of individual transition from soldier to civilian life.

"The Veteran in a New Field" is often studied for its historical context and artistic merit, offering insight into the national mood of the United States during the Reconstruction era. It stands as a testament to Homer's skill in conveying narrative and emotion through his art, and remains an important piece in the canon of American painting.
