Kuoshwa kwa Miguu (Le lavement des pieds)

James Tissot · 1886–1894
Brooklyn Museum, New York

Katika chumba kilekile cha chakula kilichopambwa kwa mashada ya maua, wanafunzi wameketi kando ya kuta juu ya mabenchi na makochi, viatu vyao vimeachwa sakafuni. Yesu anatembea kati yao na jagi la maji mikononi, kitambaa kirefu kikining'inia kutoka mabegani mwake.

Mwanafunzi mmoja amepiga magoti karibu na bakuli sakafuni, na mwingine upande wa kulia anainama mbele ili aone. Tissot aliliacha tukio tulivu na lenye mwanga hafifu, kwa rangi za kahawia na nyekundu laini.
