This photograph is of a charcoal sketch Rockwell made for the painting "Murder in Mississippi (Southern Justice)". In the top right corner, you can see a newspaper clipping showing the portraits of the three murdered men. Rockwell used these portraits to give some degree of authenticity to his image but never explicitly tried for exact replication of their visage.
