A screen print from the series “The Legend of John Brown” by Jacob Lawrence. The print depicts five corpses, four laying down and one slouched, on the brown ground. The first body at the top, wearing a dark green top, is laying with limbs akimbo. Next to his feet is the second body, with a light blue top, slouched against a rock. The third body, in the center and wearing a white shirt, is lying face down with their arms above their head and a yellow knife in their back. The fourth body, with a green shirt, is laying on their back with their hands at their side. The fifth body, wearing a black shirt, is laying on their sides with their arms above their head. A green-and-black snake is slithering on the floor near the fifth body.
