"Harriet Tubman Series (Panel #4)" is a 1940 tempera on composition board painting by Jacob Lawrence. This panel, part of a larger series, depicts five figures in a dynamic composition against a stylized sky with a blue, cloud-like shape. Lawrence, known for his bold, graphic style, utilizes flat, geometric shapes and vibrant colors to capture the energy and resilience of the individuals depicted in the series. This work is a testament to the artist's contribution to the Harlem Renaissance and his lasting impact on American art.
