In the painting, Long portrays a group of Moors gathered in an ornate, architecturally detailed chamber, capturing the tension and emotional turmoil of the individuals facing religious conversion. The artist's use of rich colors and intricate patterns reflects the influence of the Moorish aesthetic, while the somber expressions of the figures highlight the gravity of their situation.
