"Drie geestelijken in een hal" is an etching by Dutch artist Bernard Picart, created in 1718. It depicts three clergymen standing in a hallway, likely discussing religious matters. The artwork is part of a series of illustrations for the poem "Le Lutrin" by Nicolas Boileau-Despréaux, which satirizes clerical life. The scene is rendered with detailed attention to the figures' clothing and the architectural setting, characteristic of Picart's meticulous style. The etching is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
