Sadaka ya Mjane (Le denier de la veuve)

James Tissot · 1886–1894
Brooklyn Museum, New York

Mjane anatembea mbele kutoka mlangoni mwa Hekalu akiwa na gauni refu la kijivu na shela, akitazama mkono wake. Nyuma yake anapita mwanamke mwingine na mtoto mkononi.

Upande wa kushoto, juu ya benchi la mawe kando ya ukuta, Yesu ameketi kati ya wanafunzi wake akiwa amevaa nyeupe na kumwonyesha anapozungumza. Wengine wameketi kwenye benchi la mbali upande wa kulia.
