Portrait of Two Women Gathering Fruit (c. 1750) Stephen Slaughter's woke art from 1750... woke because against assumptions it's the black woman who's the noblewoman and the white woman who's the servant, given away by the details in their clothing, jewelry, and posings.

painting of two women, black & white, picking fruit. the white woman, looking away & wearing modest jewelry, holds open the apron on her simple house dress for fruit to be gathered in. the black woman, wearing formal jewelry, behind her looks at us as viewers, her masterly hand resting confidently on the shoulder of the other woman as she picks fruit.
