Jesus, whilst confronted with a murderous horde prepared to execute a woman “taken in the very act of adultery,” chose to not respond to the mob’s shouted confrontations and demands for capital punishment.

Dagnan-Bouveret portrays the Virgin and Child resting quietly in a simple carpenter’s shop. The Infant’s divine glow penetrates Mary’s veil and emphasizes His divinity. Jesus’ placement, nestled against her chest, suggests the notion that Mary kept her sacred, maternal insights about His identity in her heart, private but profoundly felt because of their intimate kinship.
