Design for set "March to Jericho" from "Green Pastures"
c. 1935

A painting depicting a procession of robed figures in a mountainous landscape, with a group at the peak of a hill and others descending along a path. The color palette is dominated by earthy tones, and the brushwork suggests an impressionistic style. The background features layered mountain silhouettes under a light sky.
