About the piece
Painted in 1893 by Charles T. Webber, this significant historical work captures the tension and hope of the Underground Railroad. A group of travelers, including families and guides, are shown arriving at a safe house in a desolate, snowy landscape under a cold, grey sky, rendered with masterful academic realism.
