About this work

A dark, dramatic painting shows a young girl kneeling at the top of temple steps while a bearded high priest in a gold robe and white headdress reaches toward her. Attendants in white and blue robes gather around, a child carries a candlestick, and a group of putti hovers in the upper right holding a basket of flowers.
