"Stuck in the Mud" is one of the illustrations from Winslow Homer's series "Life in Camp, Part 1". Created in 1864, it depicts a soldier from the Union Army struggling to get up from the muddy ground. The soldier's outstretched leg and contorted body create a sense of humor. The image showcases Homer's talent for capturing the everyday realities of life in the Civil War with a mixture of realism and wit.
