“Here’s the deal, freedom is yours for a moon pie and a Dr Pepper. I’d just about sell my soul for a bucket of the Colnel’s chicken with biscuits and a side right now.”
According to the Met’s page about it at https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/11133, we’ve got a real incident here. “Brigadier General Francis Channing Barlow (1834–1896) captured several Confederate officers on June 21, 1864.” Why Homer only shows some of them is a mystery.
Would you like to see it in person? No problem. “On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 762.”
There’s more at http://www.winslowhomer.org/prisoners-from-the-front.jsp, where we learn that Barlow was a friend of Homer’s. Nice mutual benefit—the painting enhances Barlow’s reputation and made Homer famous at the same time.
Last but not least, there’s sn interesting interpretation of the psinting and related works in an essay at https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/06/03/the-seething-hell from The New Yorker.

You two Yankee devils captured my whole Division with a single musket and a sword still in its scabbord? I’m beginning to doubt my men’s personal investment in this conflict.
