A collection "Drawings from Prison" were made between 1951 and 1959 in the prisons of the Penitentiary of Lisbon, where Álvaro Cunhal spent seven years in rigorous isolation, and from the Fort of Peniche, from where he escaped on January 3, 1960. They were first published by the "Avante!" Editions in December 1975 as part of fundraising initiatives for the Portuguese Communist Party.

The figures are rendered in strong, flowing lines, evoking the power of collective action. The banner that they carry underscores their purpose, while the soft, shaded landscape contrasts with the determined energy of the people. The composition exudes a sense of momentum and shared struggle, with the figures moving forward in solidarity.
