Jesus replied, ‘Do you ask this of your own accord, or have others spoken to you about me’ (Jn 18:34)

A respectful and devotional representation of a biblical scene inspired by the Book of John, chapter 18, verse 34. Jesus is seen in a peaceful yet serious mien as he addresses an unseen recipient. His question challenges the autonomy of the questioner, causing a moment of contemplation. The scene is imbued with subtle, velvety shades reflecting the traditional medium of watercolor. The colors shift between soft earth tones that evoke a sense of calm and divine presence. No text or words are present in the scene. Note: The style should be evocative of pre-1912 religious art, especially Renaissance and Baroque periods with an emphasis on dramatic and emotive compositions.
