About this work

The painting shows a dramatic scene of nude and partly draped figures clustered along a rising slope under a stormy, dark sky with clouds and a glowing orange light. In the foreground a figure lies sprawled on the ground while others reach and gesture above, creating a tense, shadowy composition. This is George Frederic Watts's The Denunciation of Cain, dated 1872.
