Supplementary description by the museum's website (© - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

A native of Philadelphia, Jennings spent his career in London in the circle of Benjamin West. He painted an allegorical history painting to celebrate the new building for the Library Company of Philadelphia, based on instructions he received from the Library’s founder Benjamin Franklin, and its directors, most of whom were Quakers and active Abolitionists. This recently discovered study captures the vision for the finished painting (Library Company of Philadelphia), including the figure of Liberty, surrounded by symbols of the arts and sciences, whose feet rest on severed chains as she gestures toward a group of freed slaves. In the distant landscape freed blacks, one of whom plays a banjo, dance around a Liberty Pole. This is the first known painting before the Civil War era to address the issue of the abolition of slavery in the United States.
