Christoffel van (II) Sichem’s "Aanbidding van het Lam Gods" (before 1646) is a small-scale engraving depicting a scene from the Book of Revelation. The composition is divided into two sections, one depicting God on a throne surrounded by angels and the other showing a group of people worshipping the Lamb of God, a symbol of Christ's sacrifice. The intricate details and the use of light and shadow to create depth and dimension are characteristic of Sichem's style. This engraving, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into the religious beliefs and artistic practices of 17th-century Holland.
