This drawing testifies how the Emilian painter Biagio Pupini was in direct contact with the artistic environment of the Rome of the sixteenth century both for the fluidity of the stroke and for the taste for antiquity. Twelve-year-old Jesus is represented talking with the doctors in the temple of Jerusalem. However, the identification of the main scene is not immediate, because the drawing unfolds in various micro-narratives - in which visitors and scholars of the temple converse, move, transport the sacred texts - which divert attention from the heart of the scene positioned at the top of the left.
