About this work

Christ sits in the temple on a throne, with two angels behind him. He explains the scriptures to the scribes. Joseph and Mary enter the temple and find their twelve-year-old son among the scholars. In the margin, a six-line caption in two columns in Latin. The print is part of an album.
