"Den muhamedanske religion" (The Muhammadan Religion) is an 1825 engraving by Danish artist J.F. Clemens. The artwork portrays a woman sitting on a stone platform, reading a book and pointing with her finger. A scimitar (a curved sword) is placed near her hand. The background depicts a smoky cloud. Clemens's engraving is a satirical representation of the Islamic faith, using symbolic imagery to convey a critical perspective on the religion. This artwork is an example of the artistic and intellectual discourse surrounding religious beliefs in the 19th century.
