Description
Elisha and his servant approach the home of the Shunammite woman, welcomed by a mother and her young son at the doorway. The prophet raises his hand in greeting while the household scene includes a woven basket, flowers, a dog, chickens, and the open country road beyond the house. The artwork reflects the hospitality shown to Elisha in Shunem, where the woman received the man of God and prepared a place for him to stay. In the biblical account, her kindness becomes the setting for a prophetic promise: though she had no child, Elisha declared that she would embrace a son. The child visible beside her points to God’s gracious answer and to the theme of faithful hospitality meeting divine provision.
