Schets van Christus tussen de schriftgeleerden 1752 - 1819

"Schets van Christus tussen de schriftgeleerden" (Sketch of Christ among the Scribes), a 1752 - 1819 pen and wash drawing by Dutch artist Jurriaan Andriessen (1742 - 1819), depicts a scene from the Gospel of Luke. The drawing, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, captures a moment of debate between Jesus and the Jewish religious leaders. Andriessen's sketch, characterized by loose, expressive lines and subtle washes of grey, conveys a sense of animated discussion and underscores the tension inherent in the biblical narrative.
