A different coloration, click-to-enlarge, framed image, along with a description, can be found here.Wikipedia pages (sometimes Google translated) for the painting’s identified figures: Antoine Duc-Quercy as Christ, Liane de Pougy as Mary Magdelene, Ernest Renan as Simon the Pharisee, Hippolyte Taine, Jean-Jacques Weiss, John Lemoinne, Edmond Taigny, (Michel) Eugène Chevreul, Alexandre Dumas, fils, Dr. Adrien Proust, and the artist; his collection (more under Subcategories).
