"Jesus Questioning the Doctors" is a renowned engraving by the French artist Gustave Doré, created as part of his illustrations for the Bible. This work, which is one of the many biblical scenes that Doré depicted, portrays the episode from the Gospel of Luke (2:41–52) where a young Jesus, at the age of twelve, is found in the Temple in Jerusalem, engaging with the elders and learned men, astonishing them with his understanding and answers.

Gustave Doré (1832–1883) was a prolific and influential illustrator, printmaker, painter, and sculptor, whose works often depicted dramatic and fantastical scenes. His illustrations for the Bible, completed in the 1860s, are among his most famous and widely recognized works. These illustrations were initially published in France and later in many editions around the world, contributing significantly to the visual culture of biblical narratives in the Western world.

In "Jesus Questioning the Doctors," Doré employs his characteristic attention to detail and mastery of light and shadow to create a composition that emphasizes the youthful Jesus as a central figure amidst the scholars. The engraving is notable for its intricate depiction of the Temple's architecture and the expressive faces of the figures, which convey a sense of wonder and engagement with the divine wisdom of the young Christ.

As with many of Doré's engravings, this work has been reproduced in various formats and has been influential in shaping the visual interpretation of this biblical event. The piece is appreciated not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to religious and cultural studies, as it reflects 19th-century European attitudes towards biblical stories and their representation.

"Jesus Questioning the Doctors" continues to be studied and admired for its artistic qualities and its place within the broader context of Gustave Doré's oeuvre and the history of biblical illustration.
