Jesus among the doctors, signed – European School – 19th century

Descriptio Oil on copper. Dimensions: 86 × 108 cm; with frame: 100 × 120 cm. Scene from the Gospel episode of Jesus among the doctors in the Temple. The Christ Child occupies the center of the composition, seated and dressed in a white tunic and red cloak, surrounded by scribes and doctors holding scrolls and books; to the right appear the Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph. In the background are depicted the Tablets of the Law. The scene exhibits meticulous execution, intense color, and the smooth finish characteristic of the metal support. A signature is visible in the lower right corner, though it is not clearly legible in the photograph. It retains its original gilt frame. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed. The absence of any mention of restorations does not guarantee that none exist. You may request additional information before placing a bid. This does not affect the buyer’s statutory rights.
