A screen print from the series “The Legend of John Brown” by Jacob Lawrence. The print depicts the black frame of a house with a yellow table and chair inside. The house sits on a tan and red hill under a light blue sky. At the top of a hill, a figure is hanging from a tree, where the red appears to begin and down the hill to the house. On the front of the print, the artist wrote the series number and edition in the lower left corner [#9 51/60] and signed and dated in the lower right corner [Jacob Lawrence 1977].
