Beyond the Image: Symbolism and Meaning
The central figure of Jesus Christ dominates the composition, his benevolent gaze and outstretched hand embodying compassion and forgiveness. The woman, caught in her alleged sin, crouches at his feet, her face hidden in shame. Doré's depiction explores the complex themes of moral judgment, redemption, and the transformative power of grace.

Feelings Conveyed: Shame, Redemption, and the Human Condition
Doré's work transcends its historical context, speaking to universal human emotions. The woman's shame and the crowd's condemnation are palpable, yet Jesus's presence brings a glimmer of hope and redemption.
