Horace Pippin's 1942 painting, *John Brown Reading His Bible*, presents a solemn portrait of the abolitionist John Brown. Pippin, a self-taught artist, often depicted scenes from American history and his own experiences. This work is characterised by its simplified forms and muted colour palette, typical of Pippin's folk-art style. The painting shows Brown standing behind a wooden barrier, presumably at a table, with an open book before him. A single candle illuminates the scene, casting long shadows across the log cabin interior. The composition is deliberately stark, with the figure of Brown dominating the frame. The background is rendered in shades of grey and white, creating a sense of quiet contemplation. Pippin's use of colour is restrained, focusing attention on the subject's face and the open book. The painting's directness and simplicity convey a sense of reverence for Brown's moral conviction. Pippin's work provides a powerful commentary on race, history, and social justice in America.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
