This engraving by Christoffel van Sichem, titled "Heilige Candida en heilige Gelasia als kluizenaressen met engel," depicts two female saints, Candida and Gelasia, in a contemplative setting. The figures are depicted as hermits, with Candida kneeling in prayer and Gelasia reading a book. An angel with large wings stands behind them, adding a celestial element to the scene. Created in 1644, the artwork is a fine example of the detailed and realistic style of engraving practiced during the Baroque period. The composition, lighting, and expressive details bring a sense of reverence and spirituality to the scene. The engraving is a testament to Sichem's skill and the enduring power of religious imagery in art.
