Wood engraving by Eric Gill

Thought I would post the occasional work that inspires me.
Here is Anointing, a wood engraving by British artist Eric Gill - Wikipedia article


Not sure of Mr Gill's personal religious views - especially after seeing some of his other works, but this depiction of the woman anointing Jesus with the expensive oil from her alabaster jar, with the indignant disciples looking on is a great pictorial reminder of the sermon I heard the other day.
