Yesu Katikati ya Waalimu (Jésus parmi les docteurs)

James Tissot · 1886–1894
Brooklyn Museum, New York

Mvulana Yesu ameketi kwenye benchi la chini akiwa na kanzu yenye milia myekundu, mdogo kati ya waalimu wanaosongamana kumzunguka wakiwa na vilemba na mitandio ya maombi. Mwanga unaingia kupitia dirisha lenye kimiani nyuma yao.

Baadhi ya wazee wanapapasa ndevu zao, wengine wanainama kusikiliza. Mbele, maumbo mawili yanayoonekana kwa nyuma — Mariamu mwenye shela yenye maua na Yusufu — wameingia hivi punde na kusimama pembeni mwa kundi.

Kutoka maandiko

“wakampata hekaluni, akiwa ameketi katikati ya waalimu” (Luka 2:46)

“Wote waliomsikia walishangazwa na ufahamu wake” (Luka 2:47)
