About this work
Rembrandt used a print after Rubens as his model for the figure of the kneeling king. The Christ Child, on the other hand, sprang entirely from his unsurpassed powers of observation. In contrast to the stylized, muscular Child, with which he would have been familiar in the visual tradition, here he drew an unmistakeable infant who is still unable to hold up his head.
