"Christ Disputing with the Doctors: Small Plate" is a notable etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1630 during the artist's early period. This work, catalogued as Bartsch 66, Hind 20, and BB 30-d, is part of a series of prints that depict the biblical scene of Jesus, as a young boy, engaging in a theological debate with the elders in the Temple of Jerusalem. The narrative is derived from the Gospel of Luke 2:41-52, which is the only account of Jesus's childhood in the New Testament.

The etching measures approximately 12.8 x 17.8 cm and showcases Rembrandt's skill in capturing the intensity of the exchange through his use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to the psychological interplay between the figures. The composition is intimate, with Jesus positioned at the center, surrounded by the learned men whose expressions and gestures convey a mix of surprise, curiosity, and respect for the young Christ's wisdom.

Rembrandt's treatment of this subject is significant for its humanization of the biblical scene, a characteristic of the artist's broader approach to religious subjects. Unlike the grandiose and often idealized depictions common in the art of the Renaissance, Rembrandt's work presents a more accessible and emotionally resonant interpretation. The "Small Plate" version of "Christ Disputing with the Doctors" is distinguished from a larger and slightly later version by its more compact size and the immediacy of the scene it portrays.

This etching is an important example of Rembrandt's graphic work and contributes to our understanding of his development as an artist. It is held in high esteem for its technical mastery and its contribution to the visual arts, offering insight into the cultural and religious context of the 17th-century Dutch Republic. "Christ Disputing with the Doctors: Small Plate" remains a subject of study for art historians and is valued by collectors for its artistic and historical significance.
