Wakirudi Kutoka Yerusalemu, Wanagundua Kwamba Yesu Amepotea (Au retour de Jérusalem on s'aperçoit que Jésus est perdu)

James Tissot · 1886–1894
Brooklyn Museum, New York

Tissot aliwaza kituo cha mapumziko cha mahujaji waliokuwa wakirudi nyumbani kutoka Yerusalemu: umati wenye punda na ngamia kwenye mteremko mtupu wa kilima, watu wakipumzika, wanyama wamelala nyasini, barabara ikipinda kurudi juu ya vilima.

Katikati, Mariamu, akiwa na shela na mtandio wenye vishada, anainua mkono huku akimgeukia Yusufu, mwanamume mrefu mwenye joho lenye milia. Wamegundua hivi punde kwamba mvulana hayuko pamoja nao.

“walisafiri safari ya siku. Ndipo wakaanza kumtafuta miongoni wa ndugu na marafiki zao” (Luka 2:44)
