Homer's early painting depicts elegantly dressed women and men at a croquet game, capturing the fashionable leisure of post-Civil War America. The painting's flat, decorative qualities and the brilliant white of the women's dresses show the influence of Japanese prints and anticipate his later Impressionist development.
