School of Godfried Schalcken, likely 1600s
The title of the portrait would imply a passage in the Bible. However, it has not been possible to identify this, so it is possible that the painting was an imaginary composition.
The scene is painted in the style of the Dutch Old Masters. It is similar to work by Godfried Schalcken (or Gottfried Schalken),1643 –1706. Schalcken was a Dutch portrait and genre painter. Schalcken's work was very detailed and finely painted, and he was particularly celebrated for reproducing candlelight.
