Dos esclavos negros de unos 30 años, muy atractivos y musculosos. Están atados cada uno a un poste a la entrada de una mansión. Completamente desnudos. El capataz blanco y rubio, con barba, muy atractivo y musculoso se dispone a castigar severamente sus genitales con una fusta. Los esclavos parecen muy asustados. Alrededor, otros esclavos vestidos solo de cintura para abajo observan cabizbajos
Two naked black men are tied with thick ropes to wooden posts, with their arms raised and their torsos exposed; their penises are visible and one of them also appears bound by a rope around his chest. Between them, a white man in a white shirt and dark trousers holds a raised whip, creating a scene of punishment, domination and slavery in front of a classical-style mansion with stone columns. In the background, three other black men in light-colored trousers watch barefoot on a gravel path, with serious and restrained expressions. The cloudy sky, the cypresses and the stately architecture reinforce a historical, oppressive and dramatic atmosphere.
