The etching illustrates Rembrandt's willingness to depart from biblical iconography to satisfy his artistic vision. In one scene he combines various passages from the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 19: The sick and elderly come to be healed; mothers bring their children to be blessed; the Pharisees, at left, want to argue with Christ about divorce. The distraught, well-dressed young man above the eager child is no doubt pondering his chances of getting into heaven if he does not shed his wealth-a dilemma suggested by the camel at far right. http://www.artsconnected.org/resource/94672/christ-preaching-the-hundred-guilder-print-gallery-label-current The nickname of this complex masterwork, The Hundred Guilder Print, refers to the high price someone reportedly paid for it in the mid-1600s.
