"Moeder en krijgslieden bij de resten van haar opgegeten kind tijdens de hongersnood in Jeruzalem," a 1574 engraving by Christoffel van Sichem I, depicts a harrowing scene of a mother confronting soldiers in Jerusalem during a famine. The engraving, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, captures the devastating impact of the siege, with the mother's despair evident in her posture and the soldiers' callous indifference. The intricate details of the engraving, highlighting the grim reality of hunger, are a testament to the artist's skill in conveying human emotion.
