介绍（中）	这张纸是鲁本斯绘画作品中相对较新的一张，在几个方面都很特别。即使它看起来有点裁剪（尤其是左边和上面），它仍然是艺术家纸上最大的作品之一。它的技术比他的大多数其他绘画都要丰富得多，将粉笔和颜料结合在一起，使作品看起来像油画素描。这个主题可能被认为是鲁本斯独有的。在一个简单的乡村教堂里，可以看到一位天主教牧师向农民和农民传教，左边的男人和右边的女人都有不同程度的专注。显然，从大自然中观察到，这一场景只能与他在职业生涯结束时所做的与农场生活有关的风景和研究联系起来，当时他大部分时间都在1635年获得的马林斯附近的庄园里。鲁本斯的构图（如果不是绘画的生动和新鲜）已经被其他艺术家在一些绘画复制品中重复了。然而，没有迹象表明鲁本斯自己画这幅画是出于任何其他原因，只是为了记录他亲眼目睹并认为值得他发挥才能的时刻。
介绍（英）	This sheet, a relatively recent addition to Rubens's drawn oeuvre, is exceptional in several ways. Even if it seems to have been slightly cropped (especially at the left and the top), it remains one of the artist's largest works on paper. Its technique is much richer than that of most of his other drawings, combining chalk and paints, and gives the work the appearance of an oil sketch. The subject matter may be considered unique for Rubens. In a simple village church, a Catholic priest can be seen preaching to farmers and peasants—men on the left and women on the right—who listen with varying degrees of attentiveness. Obviously observed from nature, the scene can be connected only with the landscapes and studies related to farm life that he made at the end of his career, when he spent much of his time on the estate near Malines that he acquired in 1635. Rubens's composition (if not the vivacity and freshness of the drawing) has been repeated by other artists in a few painted copies. There is, however, no indication that Rubens himself made the drawing for any other reason than to record a moment he had witnessed and thought worthy of his talents.
