Deborah’s Song of Triumph
Deborah stands upon broad steps, one arm raised while the other hand rests against her chest. Men gather at different heights around her, leaning towards the address from the dark doorway and open foreground. Doré gives the illuminated robe a strong vertical outline against the masonry. The caption identifies Deborah’s song of triumph, turning the aftermath of battle into a scene of speaking and shared attention.
