    I feel as though this image does an excellent job in using value and tonal organization. It is obvious what the focal point of this work of art is supposed to be. The two subjects in front have a light value and tone, as opposed to objects in the background which have a dark tone. The artist also did a good job in establishing shadows on the bodies of the subjects. 

    The artist is Gustave Dore.
