Seated among the faithful, Jesus gathers a child upon His knee while others approach, drawn by His compassion. With a gentle gaze and open arms, He welcomes them, fulfilling His words: “Let the little children come to Me.” Mothers and disciples look on in awe and reflection as the scene unfolds, revealing the dignity and spiritual worth of each child in the Kingdom of God. The background of trees and village life suggests both the earthly and eternal dwelling of the Good Shepherd, who blesses with peace and tender authority.
