This painting, "Presentation of Jesus at the Temple" by Jan Joest (c.1450-1519), depicts a scene from the New Testament where Mary and Joseph bring the infant Jesus to the Temple in Jerusalem. The central figures are Mary and Joseph, who stand before the aged Simeon, holding the Christ child. The painting is noteworthy for its meticulous detail and the inclusion of a series of smaller scenes depicting the Fall of Man and the expulsion from the Garden of Eden. This work exemplifies Joest's mastery of Northern Renaissance painting and showcases the religious themes prevalent in art of that period.
