The subject, illustrating a text in the Old Testament (I Samuel 1: 24–25), shows the moment when the infant Samuel is presented to the high priest by his parents so that he might serve in the Temple. Eeckhout appears to have been a pupil of Rembrandt in the later 1630s. This painting has been dated to the early 1660s, several years before Eeckhout painted a second version of this theme, now in the Louvre.
