About the piece

In this 1877 work by Charles Verlat, the artist employs a realist style to bring a humanizing gravity to these iconic figures. The composition focuses on the textural details of their sun-worn skin and coarse-woven garments, set against the luminous, clear light of a Jerusalem setting.
