"Vrouwen bidden voor de veilige terugkeer van hun mannen rond een altaar waar een offer wordt gemaakt" (Women pray for the safe return of their men around an altar where a sacrifice is made) is an 1808 etching by Italian artist Teodoro Matteini. The scene depicts a group of women kneeling in prayer, with their arms raised towards the heavens, while a woman in a flowing gown stands on a platform, holding a torch. The etching is a powerful representation of the grief and hope of women waiting for the safe return of their loved ones from war. Matteini's masterful use of line and shading creates a sense of drama and emotion. This piece is a great example of neoclassical artwork.
