Provenance

Having been taken to the Temple at the age of 12, the child Jesus was discovered a few days later debating learnedly with the scholarly theologians there (Luke 2:41).

The picture is sometimes thought to be the adult Christ disputing with the Pharisees, on the grounds that his age seems to be more than 12 years.

It was formerly ascribed to Leonardo, and may derive from an original design by him. It is known in numerous versions, some of a quality comparable to this, and the composition was enormously famous.

Painting is on the National Gallery, London, UK. Currently not on display.
