Paintings of Jesus

XYears ago, while a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Later-day Saints to Finland staying in the Missionary Training Center (MTC), I saw a picture of Christ that has haunted me ever since.  It hung outside the President's Office.
In the painting, Christ sits on the edge of a well.  A staircase is to his right (my left). His eyes.  His eyes held such depth of saddness that it was the first time I had seen a visual representation of the Lord and felt that the artist had truly captured a bit of His soul.  I regret not taking a picture with my old, film loaded "point and shoot" camera.
Now when I see pictures of Christ I am not familiar with, I take a picture to look at later.






Do you see what I see?
