DescriptionA young Christ sits casually at center amongst a crowd, one hand slightly raised in gesticulation. He looks directly at the man seated across from him, who has his back to us. Over Christ's shoulder, another man, face in shadow from his hat, looks on complatively with his hands clasped. The figures just beyond him do the same. On Christ's left, a large man sits slightly slumped, and next to him, a man standing in profile. Behind him, others crouch around and above him, all looking at the young Jesus speaking.
