"Onze-Lieve-Vrouw van de Heilige Rozenkrans" is a woodcut by the artist van der Haeghen, now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The image depicts a central figure of the Virgin Mary, surrounded by a circular frame of 15 scenes representing the Mysteries of the Rosary. The circular frame resembles a flowering tree, with leaves and roses. Two figures kneel at the base, holding the stem and flower, symbolically reflecting the rosary. This woodcut, likely created between 1700 and 1865, offers a visual interpretation of the popular Catholic prayer tradition of the rosary.
