This 1740 etching, "Geloof naast altaar met lam op boek met de zeven zegels," depicts a seated woman crowned with a wreath, holding a palm frond, and a book with seven seals. A lamb stands by her side, and a dove flies overhead. The scene is likely symbolic of religious faith and the seven seals mentioned in the Book of Revelation. The artist, unknown, has captured the theme with a sense of reverence and detail, showcasing the power of visual storytelling through the lens of religious art. This artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the enduring appeal of religious imagery in art.
