Verhaal met voorstellingen van moord en doodstraf (F. 127.) 1667

"Verhaal met voorstellingen van moord en doodstraf (F. 127.)" is a 1667 etching by Abraham Dircksz. Santvoort, a Dutch Golden Age artist. The work depicts a series of scenes, likely from a real-life crime story, illustrating murder and its legal consequences. The multiple scenes, presented in a grid-like format, create a powerful narrative, capturing the events leading up to and following the crime. The use of etching, a popular technique of the time, lends a stark and realistic quality to the artwork, making it an important historical document that offers a glimpse into 17th-century Dutch society. The work is currently on display in the Rijksmuseum.
