This anonymous etching, titled "Aartsengel Michaël in gevecht met de draak", depicts the archangel Michael battling the dragon, a common theme in Christian art representing the triumph of good over evil. Dated between 1595 and 1692, the work features a dynamic composition within an oval frame, with Michael poised triumphantly over the defeated dragon. The use of hatching and cross-hatching adds depth and texture to the figures, creating a sense of movement and energy. The print is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
