Painting of a red-haired youth in red and green robes gesturing among turbaned, bearded elders in a dark, dramatically lit setting.

Christ Among the Doctors by Orazio Borgianni, 1609

Painting dated 1609 showing a red-haired youth in a red tunic and green cloak at the centre, counting points on his fingers while bearded elders in turbans and robes lean in, listen and argue around him. The dark setting is lit strongly on the youth's face and the golden sleeve of a figure at right.
