专家说明

The subject is similar to Christ healing the Sick (see lots 48 and 49) which Rembrandt completed only a few years before. Here the scene is much more intimate - the gathering smaller and in a much more confined space, and Christ is only slightly taller than those around him - a contrast with the earlier print where he is a monumental figure. Instead of the highly accomplished preacher dealing simultaneously with several groups of people, he is now speaking directly and with humility to a much smaller group, each of whom (save the child in the foreground) is giving him their full attention.
