Mary Magdalene kneels before Christ and anoints his feet, wiping away the excess oil with her hair, a gesture of deference and devotion. The disciples\u2014especially Judas Iscariot, Tissot notes, in a commentary based on John\u2019s account\u2014are indignant at the gesture\u2019s expense, asking could not this costly ointment be sold and its profits given to the poor? However, Jesus defends Mary\u2019s prescience: \u201cShe did it,\u201d he tells them, \u201cfor my burial.\u201dObject metadata can change over time, please check the Brooklyn Museum object record for the latest information.
