Guernico (1591-1666) The Woman taken in AdulteryThe man whose face is turned away from us wants to throw stones at this lady until he has killed her. Jesus is stopping him from doing this. Yet Guernico has not shown him as a strong, powerful person who dominates the fellow by the force of his personality. He simply looks at the man, and reasons with him quietly.
