Description
Photograph of a the painting "Suffer the Little Children" by Plockhorst, depicting Jesus being attended by children in the wilderness, [s.d.]. Christ sits on the edge of what appears to be a stone well and lifts a small young boy onto his knee. Other children move towards him away from the group of women to the left that appear to be their various mothers. Deeper, behind these women, the faces of two elderly gentlemen merge into the shadows beneath a tree. In the right distance, shepherds move towards the scene from out of the mountains.
