Sébastien Leclerc's "Priester met twee misdienaars voor een altaar" (1661) is a small etching depicting a priest and two altar boys in a church setting. The priest stands at an altar with two books and an open chalice, while the boys kneel at the base of the altar. The scene is framed by the architecture of the church, including a window overlooking a courtyard and a larger framed image behind the priest. The image within the frame appears to depict the crowning of Christ with thorns. This etching, found in the Rijksmuseum, is a detailed and nuanced depiction of a religious scene, showcasing Leclerc's skill in representing both the physical space and the devotional activity.
