Samuel learns the scriptures from his mother and grandmother. Hannah had dedicated Samuel to the Lord before he was born, and said she would take him to live with the high priest Eli to be trained in the tabernacle for God's service. In this picture he is sitting, resting his chin on his folded hands which are on his knees. Hannah is sitting closeby and teaches him from a scroll,one hand uplifted, and obviously talking.
