"The Daughters of Israel Lamenting the Daughter of Jephthah" is a wood engraving by Gustave Doré, known for his detailed and dramatic illustrations. The artwork depicts a scene from the Book of Judges in the Bible where Israelite women mourn Jephthah's daughter, who was sacrificed as a consequence of a vow he made to God. The figures are drawn with strong lines, their poses and expressions conveying a sense of grief and solemnity. The dramatic composition and realistic depiction of emotion are characteristic of Doré's style, which often sought to bring biblical stories to life for a wider audience.
