Jesus Preaching in the Temple is a 1550 ink by German 16th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image shows a black and white engraving of a scene from the Bible. In the center, Jesus is standing at a pulpit, preaching to a group of people sitting on the floor. The people are dressed in robes and turbans, and some of them are holding books or looking up at Jesus. The background of the engraving is a simple, arched doorway with a few columns. The overall style of the engraving is detailed and intricate, with lots of fine lines and textures.
