Ezra Kneels in Prayer 

"Ezra Kneels in Prayer" is a dramatic black and white engraving by Gustave Doré, a renowned French artist known for his illustrations of literary works. This piece depicts the biblical figure Ezra kneeling in prayer, surrounded by a multitude of figures, likely representing the Israelites. The image captures the intensity of Ezra's devotion with his body contorted in a pose of supplication and his head bowed in humble submission. Doré's masterful use of light and shadow highlights Ezra's form and reinforces the solemnity of the scene, creating a powerful and evocative visual representation of religious fervor.
