The Distribution of Rosaries

Jean-Baptiste Mallet

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a group of people in a large room with columns and arched doorways. The room has a tiled floor with diamond and circle designs. Mostly women are present; some wear head coverings. Two seated men wearing white robes are on the right; one hands a rosary to a kneeling woman in white. A table covered with a colorful cloth and objects is behind them. Two women kneel on the left; others stand or sit around the room. The scene appears to be indoors; walls are light-colored with darker accents. The Distribution of Rosaries by Jean-Baptiste Mallet.
