Priester met twee misdienaars voor een altaar 1661

"Priester met twee misdienaars voor een altaar" is an etching by Sébastien Leclerc I, created in 1661. The print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a priest and two altar boys standing before an altar. The scene is likely part of a larger series, as the inscription "Quand le Prétre de couvre le Calice" suggests it is one plate in a multi-part work. Leclerc I was a prolific artist known for his etchings, which often depicted religious themes and figures. This small but detailed print captures the solemnity of the scene, showcasing Leclerc I's skill in conveying light and shadow through the etching technique.
