The work highlights the Flemish School’s mastery in rendering intricate details and volumes, achieving a harmonious interplay of light and shadow.

The painting is very well preserved, with surface craquelure that does not affect the overall clarity of the composition. The panel remains stable, and the paint layer is in excellent condition.

The vivid red of the drapery and the subtle interplay of light across the figures reflect the rich tradition of 17th-century Flemish painting.
