The Stoning of Naboth

Deutsche Grafik 1250–1460, c. 1420/1430

This is a painting of three figures in a confrontation, with two figures seemingly in the act of throwing stones. This is in the style of European medieval manuscript illumination. The painting depicts two standing figures, dressed in period medieval attire, engaged in throwing stones at a third figure. The figures are set against a simple background with some greenery. The use of color is limited but vivid, with emphasis on earthy tones and traditional pigments typical of the medieval era.
