Légende

Market Scene with Christ and the Adulteress, 1559. Biblical scene in the background; baskets overflowing with fruit, vegetables, eggs and bread in the foreground. A woman on the left is selling pottery. A group of scribes and Pharisees confronts Jesus, interrupting his teaching. They bring a woman, accusing her of committing adultery, for which the punishment, as prescribed by Mosaic Law, should be stoning. Jesus begins to write on the ground using his finger, and states that the one who is without sin is the one who should cast the first stone. The accusers depart, realizing not one of them is without sin either.
