Philips Galle's "Sadrach, Mesach en Abednego voor koning Nebukadnessar" is a 16th-century engraving depicting the biblical story of the three Hebrew men who refused to worship a golden statue of Nebuchadnezzar. The scene is set before the king, seated on his throne, and shows the three men being led away by soldiers. The engraving is a fine example of Galle's detailed style and mastery of the printmaking medium. The work's small size (203mm x 247mm) highlights the intimate focus on the biblical narrative. It's currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
