Tubman’s War (S/N 250)

“Tubman’s War (S/N 250)” by Charles Bibbs is a powerful portrayal of Harriet Tubman, depicted as both a warrior and a protector. Tubman is shown holding a rifle confidently displaying her strength and leadership during her fight for freedom. She is dressed in vibrant, earthy tones—a blue jacket and a long orange skirt, with a red headscarf, a nod to her resilience and determination. The satchel across her chest bears her name, emphasizing her identity as a historical figure who played a pivotal role in the Underground Railroad.

The artwork blends realism with Bibbs’ signature style of intricate, textured patterns that add depth to the figure’s clothing and the rifle. Tubman’s expression is calm but focused, representing her courage and unwavering dedication to the cause of emancipation. The details in her posture and the clear depiction of her weapon convey a sense of readiness and authority, reinforcing her role as a leader in physical and spiritual battles.

The simplicity of the white background directs all attention to Tubman, allowing her commanding presence to dominate the composition. Bibbs captures the essence of Tubman’s legacy, presenting her as a symbol of strength, resilience, and the fight for justice.
