Mariamu Magdalene Awauliza Malaika Kaburini (Madeleine dans le tombeau interroge les anges)

James Tissot · 1886–1894
Brooklyn Museum, New York

Mariamu Magdalene amechuchumaa katika mlango mfupi wa kaburi, amejifunika joho lenye milia, na kunyoosha mkono wake anapochungulia ndani. Mbele, wakijaza nusu ya kushoto ya karatasi, wamesimama malaika wawili warefu waliofanywa kwa shela nyembamba nyeupe na mwanga.

Nyuso zao ni tulivu na zimegeuka kando; mavazi yao yanaanguka kwa mikunjo mirefu inayoonyesha upande wa pili. Tissot aliuweka mwamba wa kahawia iliyokolea wa kaburi dhidi ya weupe wao.
