Amejifunika nyeupe, ananyoosha mkono kuelekea kaunta.

Kuitwa kwa Mtakatifu Mathayo (Vocation de Saint Mathieu)
James Tissot · 1886–1894
Brooklyn Museum, New York
Kibanda cha ushuru kiko karibu na lango ambapo ngamia na wachungaji wao wanaingia na kutoka, mahali ambapo ushuru wa bidhaa ulilipwa. Mathayo ameketi nyuma ya kaunta ya mbao akiwa na joho la njano, na kibao kikining'inia juu.
Yesu amekuja hadi kibandani akiwa amejifunika nyeupe, na kuweka mkono wake juu ya kaunta. Mathayo anaweka mkono kifuani, ameshangaa. Mbele, ngamia wawili wakiwa bado na lijamu zao wanapumzika chini.
Kutoka maandiko
- “alimwona mtu ambaye aliitwa kwa jina la Mathayo, ambaye alikuwa amekaa sehemu ya watoza ushuru” (Mathayo 9:9)
- “Nifuate mimi,” akamwambia (Mathayo 9:9)
Ubunifu wa msanii
- Kibanda karibu na lango la mji na msafara ukipita
- Ngamia wanaopumzika mbele
