https://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/objects/13491
This painting by James Tissot, in the collection of the Brooklyn Museum, contains a nineteenth-century European depiction of Pilate receiving his wife's warning note while waiting to determine Jesus's sentence. It provides a look at one of the many interpretations of this biblical story, of which Duffy's poem is another.
