Juda en Tamar 1606 - 1674

Leonaert Bramer's "Juda en Tamar" is a pen and ink drawing depicting a scene from the biblical story of Judah and Tamar. The drawing, which is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, shows Judah in a flowing robe, reaching out to Tamar, who sits with a staff in her hand. The artist uses a subtle shading technique to add depth and dimension to the figures, and the landscape behind them is a simple but effective backdrop. The work is a testament to Bramer's mastery of draftsmanship and his skill at capturing the emotions and drama of biblical stories.
