Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The painting depicts black families seated in a row along the wall of a shack. This suggests that they are enslaved and their fate will likely be to be broken up through sale to white men. The somber expressions on their faces further support this interpretation. There is no evidence in the painting to suggest that they will become owners of the white men outside the doorway, successfully escape their kidnappers, or petition the local government for their release.
