In his 1949 piece “Creative Therapy”, Jacob Lawrence paints this engaging scene that depicts several psychiatric patients engaged in painting. 

Prior to his prestige and success in the art world, Lawrence encountered struggles with anxiety that led him to undertake a voluntary stay at a psychiatric ward. During his time at the hospital, he went on to create several artworks, including the one presented, guided by an art therapist.
