I don't have the full version of it.

我没拿到这幅作品的全景照片
This is the painting that depicts the scene of John Brown

这幅作品描绘了约翰·布朗离开牢房的情景
leaving his jail cell in Charlestown, virginia,

那个监狱位于弗吉尼亚州的查尔斯顿郡
on the day of his execution,

那一天是他被执行死刑的日子
according to the artist

根据画家的描绘
with the hangman's noose already around his neck,

他被压上马车送往绞刑架之前
before he even rode to the gallows--details.

他的颈上就被侩子手套上了绳套
And a black woman comes up with her baby

一个黑人妇女带着婴儿来观看行刑
and raises her baby to John Brown and he kisses the child.

她向约翰布朗举起婴儿让他亲吻
It's the "Legend of the kiss,"

约翰·格林利夫·惠蒂尔将这场景描绘在
as John Greenleaf Whittier put it in a poem.

他的一首诗中诗名为“吻的传说”
It didn't happen, but in art anything can happen.

事实没这回事但是艺术创作就有了
