An image representing the biblical verse Mark 4:16: "And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;". The scene shows seeds being sown on a stony ground. The people around have their faces lit up with joy and gladness, symbolically showing their reception of the divine word. The style of the image is reminiscent of medieval religious artworks, with its richly detailed, narrative-driven visuals captured in oil painting.
