| Description | Print shows Jesus sitting on a bench at the house of Martha and Mary; Mary is seated at his feet and Martha stands to the right, burdened with the household items that she thinks are necessary to properly entertain Jesus and his followers; keys hang from her belt. Jesus, as he gestures toward Mary, admonishes Martha for not recognizing what is truly necessary at that moment, implying that Mary sees what is important by attending to his words rather than laboring to present a lavish display. |
