The intricate details and skillful shading bring to life the emotions felt by these captives who had endured a long and arduous journey. Their weary faces reflect both exhaustion and apprehension as they are led into captivity. Dore's engraving not only captures the physical toll on these individuals but also hints at their mental anguish. Through his meticulous strokes, he conveys an atmosphere of despair and uncertainty that permeates this historical moment.
