Christ Disputing with the Doctors

About this work

This print shows a young woman-like figure in the center, pointing at something while surrounded by five older men with long beards. They’re all dressed in simple, dark robes, and the scene looks like a quiet debate. The background is plain, keeping focus on their faces and gestures. The text at the bottom says it’s based on a painting by Leonardo da Vinci, but this is an engraved copy. The artist, Felsing, turned it into a black-and-white print, which makes the details sharp but the colors flat. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see this print in person.
