Accused falsely of treason and convicted based on anti-Semitic sentiments prevalent at that time, he was sentenced to exile on Ile du Diable (Devil's Island), located off the coast of French Guiana.

Through its meticulous details and emotional depth, this lithograph invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as justice, resilience, and human
