The painting depicts a scene of a slave market in the ancient world, showcasing Leighton's skill in historical accuracy and his ability to convey emotional depth and the complexities of human interaction. The composition focuses on the figures of the traders and their captives, using the contrast of the muscular, almost heroic, forms of the traders against the vulnerability of the enslaved individuals to evoke a powerful sense of injustice and empathy in the viewer.
