This engraving by the French artist Gustave Doré, titled "The Disciples Plucking Corn on the Sabbath", depicts a scene from the New Testament, specifically the Gospel of Mark, chapter 2, verses 23-28. The scene portrays Jesus and his disciples walking through a field of grain on the Sabbath. The disciples are accused of breaking the Sabbath law by plucking and eating the grain. This image is a prime example of Doré's illustrative work, with strong lines and chiaroscuro, which brings the story to life. The composition emphasizes the confrontation between the Pharisees and Jesus, highlighting the moral dilemma presented in the passage.
