Malaika Ameketi Juu ya Jiwe la Kaburi (L'ange assis sur la pierre du tombeau)

James Tissot · 1886–1894
Brooklyn Museum, New York

Kupitia fremu yenye giza ya mlango wa kaburi tunamwona malaika aliyefanywa kwa mwanga: umbo refu lililochorwa kwa mistari myembamba meupe, lenye mabawa makubwa yaliyokunjwa hadi chini, amesimama kwa utulivu na kutazama moja kwa moja.

Upande wa kushoto benchi la mawe la kaburi limemulikwa kwa weupe hafifu na liko tupu, isipokuwa umbo hafifu la vitambaa vilivyokunjwa. Tissot alichora karibu karatasi yote kwa kijivu na nyeupe.

“malaika wa Bwana alishuka na kulivingirisha lile jiwe, kisha akalikalia” (Mathayo 28:2)

“mavazi yake yalikuwa meupe kama theluji” (Mathayo 28:3)
