Answer:
Leyster used tenebrism for added drama.
Picasso showed a single figure from multiple views for added drama.
Explanation:
- Cubism is preoccupied with the problem of the "object" that needs to be reconstructed, as opposed to the vagueness and impermanence of the Impressionist surface.
- Everything that relies on subjectivity or a particular and firm view must be eliminated in order to arrive at an overall, conceptual, complete variant of form ("If the senses deform, only the spirit forms").
- Picasso's statement: "I paint objects as I imagine them, not how I see them," supports this thesis. In Cubism, the influence of African art is also present, and the basis is the cube. The Cubists in the picture show simultaneously (at the same time) what we can really only see in succession (in the sequence of time, consecutively).
- Dutch Golden Age painter Judith Leyster often depicts middle-class Dutch people in work and in leisure in her paintings.

Answer: It is describing the dreadful voyage of a group of enslaved Africans on a slave ship—more specifically the so-called middle passage voyage.
Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that this is an excerpt from Olaudah Equiano's bestseller autobiography (1789). He was a former enslaved African who was eventually able to buy his freedom and become a seaman and a merchant. In this passage he is relating the horrors he experienced and witnessed during the so-called middle passage voyage across the Atlantic Ocean to the New World. He describes the unbereable voyage aboard an overcrowded ship, the unhealthy conditions, the diseases and the deaths, as well as the screams and the groans of those that, like him, were obliged to leave their homes and work as slaves.
In opera, the libretto is the words or lyrics, as distinct from the music.
