Rabboni, the Lifter of My Head

This item is an acrylic on canvas painting titled, "Rabboni, the Lifter of My Head", created by artist Mary Chesney. The painting measures 16 inches by 20 inches and depicts a religious or spiritual scene. The central figures are a person in white robes, presumably a male figure based on the visible forearm and hand, bending down to gently lift the face of a long-haired weeping woman. The woman's long, dark brown hair cascades down, almost obscuring her body, as she appears to be kneeling or bowed low. A single tear is visible on her cheek. The dominant colors in this section are the white of the robe, the brown of the woman's hair, and flesh tones for hands and face. The background depicts a winding dirt path on a grassy hillside under a clear blue sky. On the path in the distance, a small group of figures, likely walking away from the viewer, are rendered with less detail. Scattered green trees punctuate the landscape. The painting is framed in a simple, dark brown wooden frame, which shows minimal signs of wear. The brushwork appears to be direct and somewhat illustrative, characteristic of acrylic medium. The canvas texture is visible, indicating the use of a standard stretched canvas. No visible condition issues such as cracks, fading, or damage are apparent from the provided images. The piece exhibits a narrative quality, suggesting a contemporary devotional or inspirational art style.
