Binti ya Yeftha Atoka Kumlaki Baba Yake

Gustave Doré · 1866 (designs for La Sainte Bible, Tours); this printing 1873–1874
Maktaba ya Taifa ya Poland, Warsaw

Wachongaji Pannemaker na Doms walitia sahihi kwenye picha hii chini upande wa kulia, na Doré upande wa kushoto. Alikuwa ameichora kwa ajili ya Biblia ya Tours ya mwaka 1866, nayo ilichapishwa tena pamoja na nyingine katika nchi nyingi.

Hakuna nyumba wala Yeftha hapa — ni kilele kitupu cha kilima tu chini ya anga pana la kijivu. Binti yake anacheza peku kileleni, mikono imerushwa juu, shanga zikiyumba, huku rafiki zake wakifuata na tari, matoazi, kinubi na tarumbeta ndefu. Mwanga unaanguka kikamilifu juu ya joho lake jeupe.

Kutoka maandiko

Binti yake “akatoka kumlaki na ngoma na kucheza” (Waamuzi 11:34)

“Alikuwa mtoto wake pekee” (Waamuzi 11:34)

Alipomwona, “alirarua nguo zake” (Waamuzi 11:35)

Ubunifu wa msanii

Yeftha ameachwa nje — tunasimama mahali ambapo yeye angesimama

Kundi zima la wanamuziki, na kinubi, matoazi na tarumbeta pamoja na tari

Kilima kitupu badala ya nyumba huko Mizpa
