Doop van de kamerling 1641 - 1808

Rembrandt's etching "Doop van de kamerling" (Baptism of the Eunuch) depicts a scene from the Bible. The artwork shows an Ethiopian eunuch kneeling before a man in flowing robes as he receives baptism. In the background, a large group of figures, including soldiers and a man on horseback, watch the scene unfold. The work, completed in 1641, is characteristic of Rembrandt's masterful use of light and shadow, creating a dramatic and powerful scene.
