Ref: sk-c-419
The regentesses were responsible for overseeing the domestic affairs of the Lepers’ Asylum. The woman
at right is writing on a slate. At the base of the stairs in the background is the poor figure of Lazarus, begging
for crumbs from the table of the selfish rich man. This biblical scene is rendered – in natural colours – as though it were part of the portrait.
