This is a drawing of two human figures, one smaller and one larger, with camels in the background. The central figure appears young, with bound arms and a distressed expression. They are surrounded by a larger figure with a serious expression and elongated hands on their shoulders. Camel heads line the edges of the image. To the right, there is text that reads: "JOSEPH BECOMES A MERCHANDISE IS SOLD TO THE NEXT BEST THEY STRIKE A DEAL WITH THE MEN OF THE EASTERN CARAVANS SHIPS OF THE DESERT FLOATING OVER THE UNDULATING SAND WAVES SAILING SLOWLY TOWARD EGYPT INTO SLAVERY." The drawing uses a sepia-toned palette, emphasizing themes of bondage, trade, and journey.
