REMBRANDT VAN RHYN.
New Testament Subjects.
76. Christ among the Doctors. The composition consists
of sixteen figures assembled in a temple, among them is seen
conspicuous the youthful Saviour seated, with a large book
lying open on his knees ; his gesture and countenance indicate
him to be expounding some question. On his right are two
priests in their sacerdotal robes, and a third sits on a low stool
before him; three others, one of whom wears a scarlet mantle,
are on his left, and the rest of the learned doctors are variously
disposed around him. In a remote part of the temple may
be perceived four priests officiating at the altar. Etched by
Hess, and engraved in mezzotinto by J. Greenwood.
A picture representing the preceding subject was sold in
the collection of Michael Brian, Esq., in 1798, for *70 gs.
77. Christ disputing with the Doctors. This picture pre-
sents the interior of a splendid temple, in which are assembled
about twenty-three persons, among whom may be distinguished
the high priest, suitably arrayed, sitting under a canopy in the
centre, with his attention directed to the youthful Saviour,
who stands by his side in an animated position. On the right
are four learned doctors sitting together, one of whom, wearing
spectacles, has a large book open before him; four others,
similarly engaged, are on the opposite side. Engraved by
Hess, and described from the print.
78. The Saviour. This picture represents Jesus, when
about twenty-five years of age, in a front view, his auburn hair
parted in the middle, and falling gracefully on his shoulders.
He is dressed in a brown mantle over a white vesture, and
appears to be standing with both hands placed on the top of a
staff. The figure is of the size of life, and is seen down to the
