This engraving by Bernard Picart, a French artist known for his satirical works, depicts two scenes of religious practice among Reformed Protestants in Amsterdam. The top scene illustrates a baptism, while the lower scene depicts a communion service. Picart's detailed and somewhat humorous portrayal of these ceremonies provides a glimpse into the everyday life of the Reformed community in the early 18th century. The work, created in 1732, is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
