Wasiwasi wa Mtakatifu Yusufu (L'anxiété de Saint Joseph)

James Tissot · 1886–1894
Brooklyn Museum, New York

Mathayo anasema tu kwamba Yusufu aliamua kusitisha uchumba wake na Mariamu kwa siri. Tissot aliwaza wakati huo katika karakana yake ya useremala: mbao zimeegemezwa kwenye nguzo, vipande vya randa vimejikunja sakafuni, na kikapu cha vifaa kiko chini ya benchi.

Yusufu ameacha kufanya kazi. Ameegemea benchi yake, kidevu chake juu ya mkono na patasi katika mkono mwingine, akitazama mbele. Kupitia upande wa mbele ulio wazi, wanawake wenye mitungi ya maji vichwani wanapita barabarani.
