Jeroboam's Wife And The Prophet Ahijah, Follower Of Van Mieris
Artist: Frans Van Mieris
Jeroboam's wife and the prophet Ahijah, oil on wood panel, collector's stamp with a crown, dimensions 24 cm x 19 cm, with the frame, 34 cm x 39 cm, follower of Frans van Mieris, Holland around 1700. The son of King Jeroboam is sick, he asks his wife to consult the prophet by disguising himself and to question him to know what will happen to their child. Although blind, the prophet warned by the Lord announces bad news to him, because the king has not respected the commandments of God. In the painting, Jeroboam's wife wears a refined costume of the time of the painter and the dog that accompanies her is also anachronistic. On the other hand, the prophet and his interior correspond more to the time of the story.
