"Harriet Tubman ", by Margaret Burroughs in 1990.
In this painting you can see an old women painted in black-white colors. It's look like real because the artist paint this picture with specific details you can see every line on her face! This painting is an example of photorealism, since it's so realistic that I thought it's a photograph, not a painting.
Harriet Tubman was birth in 1819 in slavery period. However, in six years old she started to work in different kind of hard works, like she was work in weaving, in checking muskrat traps, and as a housekeeper and baby-sitter. She had the measles and she was beaten frequently. Harriet married two times. The first marriage was in 1944, when she was 25 years old, she married John Tubman, a free African American. Then she left him for searching of freedom in Pennsylvania (which was a free state). After that Harriet worked in different activities. She work as a nurse with a soldiers in Civil War and active in women's rights. In conclusion, after her death in 1913 she buried in cemetery with military honors.
These events are reminded me for the painting called "John Brown Going to his Hanging" by Horace Pippin. John Brown was in favor of slavery and try to help slaves to get there freedom. Those people were commander since they provide a better life for all.
