Martha Scolding Her Vain Sister Mary Magdalene

Two women sit at a red-draped table in a dark interior: the woman on the left, in a blue-gray dress, raises a hand beside a mirror and jewelry, while the woman on the right, in a headscarf and brown shawl, gestures toward her. Painted in oil on canvas with warm, low-key light.
