La Madona

From "The African American Series" by Kadir Nelson. An African American woman sits proudly on a chair (not visible to the viewer) holding her first born son against a vast Nebraska landscape of fluffy white clouds, brilliant blue sky and sprawling brownish yellow plains, circa. 1871. Her son?s white garment and her freshly laundered dress and apron gleam in the sun. She enjoys her newfound freedom with the confident look of hope and promise in her eyes.
