The Calling of Saint Matthew, (painting).

Digital Reference:

"In this scene Christ calls St. Matthew, who appears astounded by the Master's words. St. Peter, with his keys, stands to the left of Christ. A man and a woman stand on either side. The couple on the left looks on scornfully, while the couple on the right looks on with reverence. The scene is set in a portico beyond which are the Sea of Galilee and distant hills. Above, a choir of six angels offers incense."
