A large crowd surrounds a platform on which victims are tortured by means of racks and crosses. Engraving with etching by A. Walker.

The victims tortured and executed are presumably Jesuits suffering after the expulsion of their order from Portugal in 1759

One victim is tied to a post while the other is broken on a cross surrounded by wooden constructions bearing the corpses of tortured victims covered with a sheet of hide and surrounded by priestss carrying crucifixes
