The poses of two figures in this work are reminiscent of Raphael's Miraculous Draught of Fishes, and Morro Castle can be seen in its background. Two people clad in white extend their arms (*) downward, and an upright black man holds a rope in his hand while his white companion thrusts his spear into the waters of Havana Harbor. For 10 points, identify this painting in which the crew of a rowboat attempts to rescue the first title figure from the jaws of an ocean predator, a work of John Singleton Copley.
