This painting depicts "The Idolatry of Solomon," inspired by Frans Francken the Younger, a Flemish Baroque painter. The subject was particularly popular in Protestant countries as it addresses the issue of idolatry. The scene portrays King Solomon, who, in his old age, turns to the pagan religions of his many wives. He is shown worshipping an idol reminiscent of Triton, while one of his wives instructs him in the act. On the right side of the painting, men observe the proceedings with skepticism. The original work by Frans Francken is presented in landscape format and mirrored. Frans Francken the Younger was renowned for his detailed and narrative depictions of biblical themes.
