Robed man in white guides the hand of a kneeling figure in dark cloak, as onlookers in headscarves watch in a dim interior.

The Disbelief of Saint Thomas

A bearded man in a flowing white robe grasps the wrist of a kneeling figure in a dark cloak and guides that hand toward his own side, while onlookers in headscarves and draped cloaks crowd the dim interior behind them. The muted brown palette, warm highlights and loose brushwork suggest a watercolor or gouache painting.
