Despondently, his old head in his hands, the Biblical prophet Jeremia weeps over the burning of Jerusalem, visible in the left background.
The prophet had himself predicted its destruction. This is one of the best paintings Rembrandt did just before leaving the city of Leiden.

From the collection of S. Stroganoff (St. Petersburg) Purchased in 1939, with the support of the Vereniging Rembrandt, the Fotocommissie, private individuals, and the State.

Did he really know what would happen in the future? And did he realize that there were nothing he could do?
The important thing is to be calm down and step back and then taking what I can do one by one continuously having strong direction.
