Painting of a bearded man in a white robe confronted by a servant woman, with an armored soldier at left in deep shadow.

St Peter's denial

A bearded man in a pale robe stands at right, gesturing as a young servant woman leans toward him in a focused light. An armored soldier sits at left beside a gleaming helmet, with more figures lost in shadow behind them. Dark, warm brown tones and strong contrast define the scene.

Español: La negación de San Pedro

Un hombre barbudo con una túnica clara está de pie a la derecha, con un gesto, mientras una joven sirvienta se inclina hacia él bajo una luz concentrada. A la izquierda, un soldado con armadura se sienta junto a un casco brillante, y más figuras se pierden en la sombra detrás. Tonos marrones cálidos y un fuerte contraste definen la escena.

Português: A negação de São Pedro

Um homem barbudo com uma túnica clara está de pé à direita, em gesto, enquanto uma jovem criada se inclina em sua direção sob uma luz concentrada. À esquerda, um soldado com armadura senta-se ao lado de um elmo reluzente, e mais figuras se perdem na sombra atrás deles. Tons marrom-quentes e forte contraste definem a cena.
