Christus en de schriftgeleerden 1624

"Christus en de schriftgeleerden" is a 1624 pen and ink drawing by Dutch Golden Age artist Leonaert Bramer. The drawing, currently at the Rijksmuseum, depicts Christ seated amongst four individuals, presumably scribes. Bramer's drawing features masterful use of light and shadow, creating an atmosphere of deep contemplation, adding a layer of realism to the scene. His style is characterized by expressive lines and a focus on capturing the emotions of the figures. The drawing captures the essence of the biblical narrative, where Jesus challenges the scribes with his teachings, and offers a glimpse into Bramer's mastery of drawing.
