專家說明

Goltzius set this biblical scene in a contemporary setting, the Brouwers Chapel in the Church of St. Bavo in Haarlem, and included a small self-portrait in the group of onlookers: he is seen leaning against the arch at right, looking directly at the viewer. It is the earliest known portrait of the artist.
