"Genezing van de blinde van Jericho" (Healing of the Blind Man of Jericho) is a 1629 etching by Dutch artist Christoffel van (II) Sichem. The artwork depicts the biblical scene from the Gospel of Mark where Jesus heals a blind man in Jericho. Sichem captures the moment with dramatic detail, showcasing the crowd surrounding Jesus and the blind man kneeling before him. Palm trees frame the scene, emphasizing the setting of Jericho and the miraculous nature of the event.
