拍品专文

Despite the small size, this exquisite etching - the earliest of three with the same subject made by the artist - evokes a monumental space and theatrical atmosphere. On a tiny scale, Rembrandt included a large number of figures, with the composition and the narrative unfolding on different levels along a diagonal line: in the left foreground a beggar in the shadow; at centre, lit from left, the main scene with Simeon holding the child and addressing Mary, surrounded by worshipping figures and the prophetess Anna led by an angel; in the right background, the architecture and the big staircase are alluded to with fine, delicate lines.
