This engraving by Gustave Doré depicts the biblical prophet Ezekiel delivering a prophecy. The scene portrays Ezekiel standing on a hilltop, his arm raised in a gesture of divine inspiration. He addresses a group of people, who are depicted in various poses of reverence and awe. Doré's signature dramatic style is evident in the use of strong contrasts between light and shadow, which contribute to the overall sense of solemnity and mystery. Doré was renowned for his detailed and expressive illustrations of biblical scenes, and this work is a fine example of his talent.
