About the piece
Created in 1887 by Spanish artist José Echenagusía Errazquin, this masterpiece captures the tension of the biblical narrative with academic precision. The scene is filled with sumptuous textures—from the coarse lion skin rug to the fine jewelry and ancient Egyptian motifs—all rendered with dramatic chiaroscuro that highlights the figures' emotional depth and physical presence.
