Paintings on a stretcher Resurrection of the daughter of Jairus

This interpretation of the scene of the plot from the Gospel. Jesus Christ comes to the house where the girl died. The artist masterfully conveyed the extraordinary surprise and fright of the parents. They are still hoping for a miracle. The depicted scene is conveyed in such a way that there is a sense of the importance and significance of the event. The girl's relatives are depicted in the shadows, as they are minor characters. The girl and the coming Jesus Christ are highlighted with incredible expressiveness by light. This technique correctly places accents, and also directs our gaze to the main place in the picture. Christ is very natural, his face is calm and wise in his own greatness. His hands are completely ordinary, like a common man's. The gestures are incredibly simple, but they are really filled with solemnity. The girl seems to be sleeping, not dead.
