Painting by Ann Taylor of two adult slaves and a child(?) with the bottom half of their bodies covered in cloth; in a kneeling position at the edge of the shore, pleading towards a ship in the sea on the horizon. A handwritten verse reads: 'I've bought them, - watch from yonder shore 'That vessel out at sea! 'I've bought thy children, - over the waves 'They go, to join my gang of slaves!'
