"Gesprek met Nikodemus" (Conversation with Nicodemus) is an engraving by Christoffel van (II) Sichem, dating from 1629-1740. It depicts a biblical scene, likely from the Book of John, where Jesus is speaking with Nicodemus, a Jewish leader, about faith and salvation. The image, likely a section from a larger series, is characteristic of Sichem's detailed style, using line work to capture the figures and surrounding architecture. The engraving is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum, a testament to the lasting appeal of religious imagery in Dutch art.
