This work by Sojourner Truth Parsons depicts three female figures set against a deep blue background. The figures are painted black, only the silhouette outlines are visible. Ornamental foliage and other floral elements flow into the scene. The dark color palette of black, blue and green is punctuated by streaks of bright color – light yellow blossoms and candles, a pink circular moon looming over the scene. The painted scene appears illusive, as if painted from a memory of a specific moment, an event that happened in the past.
