"At the Maple Sugar Camp" is a genre painting by Eastman Johnson created in 1870. The painting depicts two men, likely laborers, seated in a dark, dimly lit sugar camp. The use of deep shadows and a limited palette contribute to the sense of realism and the working-class setting. This painting is a depiction of everyday life and hard work, a common theme in Johnson's oeuvre.
