Kupaa Mbinguni

James Tissot · 1886–1894
Brooklyn Museum, New York

Vijana wawili wenye majoho meupe na stola wamesimama kando kwa kando juu ya mwamba dhidi ya anga angavu lililojaa miale, kila mmoja akionyesha juu kwa kidole kimoja. Nywele zao ni za rangi hafifu na za kipilipili.

Chini yao watazamaji wamelala na kupiga magoti ardhini, wakiwa wamepofushwa na mwanga, wakifunika macho yao au kuyakinga kwa mikono. Tissot aliwafanya wawili hao kuwa watulivu na wasiotikisika juu ya mchanganyiko wa watu.

“wanatazama mbinguni kwa makini akienda” (Matendo ya Mitume 1:10)

“watu wawili walisimama katikati yao wamevaa mavazi meupe” (Matendo ya Mitume 1:10)

“Enyi watu wa Galilaya, kwa nini mnasimama hapa mkitazama mbinguni?” (Matendo ya Mitume 1:11)
