To what extent and to what extent can be considered the next image a reflection of the absolute monarchy in comparison with the ideas of Thomas Hobbes?

Thomas Hobbes's ideas were based on his work Leviathan, which means the sovereign power, in which a indidual that has no divine right, have absolute power over the people. According to Hobbes, the first law of man is self-preservation: "Man is a wolf to man." He said that to establish order in a society we should give up part of our desires and we should form a "social contract" that guarantees us an order and to have guarantee on the contract, we should fall on someone and there will the absolute monarchy. Hobbes told the people that they could not have and will never have order if they do not have someone telling them what  to do.
Hobbes follows the contemporary totalitarianism, where there is no space for freedom and human rights, the State tundra is only required to have security and efficiently maintain authority.
As we can see in the image (Red Team) only people with authority mounted on a slave, as I said before Hobbes did not let the people have rights and freedoms, and that is what a slave does not have and will never have the slave is obviously someone in the village, covered her mouth to reflect that not a word about the other, and that covers her mouth is the one that handles it as if it were like a horse, also the slave has his covered, reflecting that they have no idea what is happening, they believed everything they said.
I can not see in the image his usual phrase "Man is a wolf to man," I believe but not assure that this painting may reflect that men are mounted on man are the wolves for the slave, the wolves attack and those assembled are attacking the slave that is bleeding and shackled.
