This etching by Pieter van der (I) Borcht, titled *Scheiding tussen Abraham en Lot* (Separation between Abraham and Lot), depicts a scene from the Book of Genesis in which Abraham and Lot part ways. The composition, dating from 1582-1613, showcases the dramatic landscape of the parting, with Abraham standing on a hilltop and looking down at Lot’s camp. The print, now located in the Rijksmuseum, features a detailed depiction of the biblical story, and is a valuable example of Dutch etching from the 16th century.
