Mariamu Wawili Walitazama Kaburi (Les deux Maries observent le tombeau)

James Tissot · 1886–1894
Brooklyn Museum, New York

Wanawake wawili wameketi kwenye ukingo katika shimo la miamba, karibu karibu, wamejifunika majoho yao: mmoja amevaa nyeupe na kijivu, mwingine shela nyeusi na gauni lenye milia. Wanatazama kuelekea kaburi wakati wa jioni.

Juu yao, kileleni mwa kilima, imesimama misalaba mitatu, sasa mitupu, dhidi ya anga la kijivu. Tissot aliiacha sehemu kubwa ya karatasi kwa miamba meupe hafifu iliyochakaa.

Yusufu anavingirisha jiwe kubwa kufunika mlango wa kaburi na kwenda zake (Mathayo 27:60)
