Mwana Mpotevu Akiomba (L'enfant prodigue mendiant)

James Tissot · 1886–1894
Brooklyn Museum, New York

Mwana mdogo amesimama peke yake shambani, akitutazama moja kwa moja. Tissot alimvika kama mchungaji maskini, akiwa na joho na shati jeupe lililochanika, kofia ya majani iliyochanika na kitambaa kilichozungushwa miguuni.

Kibuyu cha maji kinaning'inia ubavuni pake. Nyuma yake, chini ya miti, nguruwe wanachimbachimba nyasini. Uso wake umekonda na umechoka.

Kutoka maandiko

Anapelekwa “shambani kwake kulisha nguruwe” (Luka 15:15)

“akawa akitamani kujishibisha kwa maganda waliyokula nguruwe” (Luka 15:16)
