Oil on canvas
159 × 131 cm

A bearded man gestures accusingly while seated figures recoil, rendered in warm ochres and deep shadows with dramatic chiaroscuro lighting. Rembrandt captures the biblical confrontation with psychological intensity, emphasizing human emotion over narrative detail, exemplifying Dutch Golden Age portraiture.
