Biddende kluizenaar 1642 - 1680

"Biddende kluizenaar" (Praying Hermit) is an etching by German artist Ludwig von Siegen, created between 1642 and 1680. The etching depicts a hermit kneeling in prayer within a rocky cavern, his hands clasped in devotion. The detail of the man's face, his robe, and the surrounding landscape demonstrate Siegen's mastery of the etching technique, capturing a sense of spirituality and solitude. The image, measuring 102 mm high and 80 mm wide, is a testament to Siegen's contribution to the development of etching during the 17th century.
