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.
In this monochrome drawing, a speaker stands on a raised platform, passionately addressing a large crowd. The figures, animated and attentive, vary in their posture, illustrating a collective engagement with the speaker's message. The buildings surrounding the scene evoke a small-town setting, creating an intimate yet charged atmosphere. The artwork highlights themes of unity, activism, and public discourse, symbolizing the power of words and collective action. The simplicity of the medium enhances the intensity of the moment.
