Three women crowd a kitchen table in this scene, and the one at center is carving a roast bird, most likely the turkey that anchored a holiday dinner. The image sits in the Thanksgiving group of the gallery, and its close, busy composition captures the preparation that often took more hours than the meal itself. Holiday cooking of this kind was traditionally shared work, with mothers, daughters, and relatives dividing tasks such as basting, peeling, and setting the table. Pictures like this one help show how domestic labor shaped the American holiday.
