From Victoria and Albert Museum:
This painting depicts a scene from Lord Byron's Don Juan and shows the moment in which Don Juan and a few survivors from a shipwreck draw lots for whom would be sacrificed to feed his starving companions. This painting was probably made in the 1820s at the very beginning of Delacroix's career. It is a fine example of the type of subject matter combining suffering and death, which was most favour by Delacroix and the Romantic movement.
