About The Artwork
This charcoal drawing was inspired by the account of the Resurrection. It follows the Hebraic custom of the dinner guest leaving his napkin in an unfolded state at the dinner table signifying that he will return. If the guest had not intended to return to the table he would have folded the napkin carefully and neatly.The ceramic jar in the foreground represents the jar of precious oils and spices with which Mary Magdalene had intended to anoint Jesus body. However, finding the tomb empty she hurriedly put the jar down and the lid has fallen to the side. The scene is lit by the raking light from the right of the picture, as if entering from the open tomb entrance,
