Original artwork description from the museum's website (© Copyright - Nationalmuseum Stockholm - Nationalmuseum Stockholm)
English: Gerrit Dou and his followers are known as the Leiden Fijnschilders (the “fine-painters” of Leiden). Their paintings are characterized by their small size and a level of detail that is often astounding. In the Bible here, one can almost make out every single page and every single letter. The motif, as well as the way the artist has rendered it, testifies to influences of similar paintings by Rembrandt, under whom Gerrit Dou had studied. This painting was once owned by Queen Christina. Gerrit Dou och hans efterföljare är kända som finmålarna från Leiden. Deras målningar kännetecknas av små dimensioner och en detaljskärpa som ofta är förbluffande. I bibeln här kan man nästan urskilja varje enskild sida och varje enskild bokstav. Såväl motivet som det sätt på vilket konstnären skildrar det vittnar om intryck från liknande målningar av Rembrandt, som Gerrit Dou hade studerat för. Målningen ägdes en gång av Drottning Kristina.
