Upon entering the Richard Beavers Gallery in Brooklyn, there are about 20 paintings around the rectangular room, all envisioning images of Jesus, Mary, and other principle reference points of Jesus in the Bible— depicting Jesus at various stages of his life from a young child at the age of 8 well into his adulthood.
