Shadowy hall with seated robed men, a black-cloaked figure centered, and a sunlit city with crowds through an arch.

The House of Caiaphas

In a dark interior hall, robed and turbaned men sit along the left while a red-robed figure reclines in the foreground and a tall figure in a black cloak stands near the center. Through an arched opening on the right, a sunlit city crowded with people fills the background, rendered in oil with deep, dramatic shadows.
