"Elia door de raven gevoed en Obadja voedt honderd profeten in een grot" (1791), by Jacob Folkema, is a 18th-century etching that depicts two scenes from the Old Testament. The top half shows the prophet Elijah being fed by ravens, while the bottom depicts Obadja feeding one hundred prophets hidden in a cave. These scenes are depicted with realistic detail, including the landscape, figures, and expressions. Folkema, a Dutch artist known for his work in etching, captures the essence of the biblical narrative in this detailed and dramatic work, which is a striking example of the 18th century's interest in religious themes.
