This painting by Philippe Lejeune depicts the Biblical episode Lucas,7, in which Jesus meets a woman unjustly treated as a prostitute by men whom Jesus then condemns.
Not being a Christian myself, however, there are stories about Jesus I do agree with.This is one of them. Et pour cause!
NOTE: I found out about this painting because it's on the cover of the October 2015's edition of the PhD dissertation (a study about Lucas,7) by Tolentino de Mendonça, the Director of The Vatican Archives, promoted to Cardinal in 2019.
