As can be read from the panels of the inner side of the pulpit’s corpus, the pulpit’s renovators were the cabinetmaker J. Johanson, the painter Kalff, and the ‘artist damoiselle’ S. v. Kügelgen.

The Baltic German female artist Sally von Kügelgen was from the famous Kügelgen artists’ dynasty and had also previously worked on decorating churches – for instance, she created three apse paintings for Tallinn’s Church of Charles XI. In coating the Juuru pulpit’s figures with polychromy, the artist has carefully followed their forms. Kügelgen used various golden ornaments to decorate the clothing and attribute – the globe with a cross – of Christ as Salvator Mundi as the figure that was more important than the evangelists and the angels. Christ the Invincible, which crowns the sounding board, is painted with admirable subtlety of colour and emotion. His entire body is covered with little criss-cross brushstrokes while his hands and feet are painted with longer brushstrokes.
