Parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard

A dim interior lit by a bright window at left shows an older bearded man in a cap seated at a table, with younger men leaning close beside him and figures crowding the shadowy right side. Deep chiaroscuro, warm highlights and a vaulted arch with a hearth suggest an oil painting; the record dates it to 1637 and names the parable of the laborers in the vineyard.

Español: Parábola de los trabajadores de la viña

Un interior en penumbra, iluminado por una ventana brillante a la izquierda, muestra a un hombre mayor con barba y gorra sentado a una mesa, con hombres jóvenes inclinados junto a él y figuras agrupadas en la sombra a la derecha. El fuerte claroscuro, las luces cálidas y un arco abovedado con un hogar sugieren una pintura al óleo; el registro la fecha en 1637 y la identifica con la parábola de los trabajadores de la viña.

Português: Parábola dos trabalhadores da vinha

Um interior na penumbra, iluminado por uma janela brilhante à esquerda, mostra um homem mais velho, barbudo e de boné, sentado a uma mesa, com jovens inclinados ao seu lado e figuras agrupadas na sombra à direita. O forte claro-escuro, os realces quentes e um arco abobadado com uma lareira sugerem uma pintura a óleo; o registro a data de 1637 e a associa à parábola dos trabalhadores da vinha.
