The scene shows two centurions kneel in front of Jesus praying him to cure their friend’s servant. The painter possibly used a contemporary paraphrase of the Bible such as Monsieur Lemaître de Sacy’s L’histoire du vieux et du nouveau testament (1735) as a source for each narrative. A comparison with one of the prints shows that the scenes were freely appropriated and simplified.com.gallerysystems.emuseum.core.entities.Classification@3ebhttps://emuseum.gardinermuseum.com/objects/5737/rdf
