This etching, created by renowned artist Wenceslaus Hollar between 1644 and 1652, depicts the biblical story of Peter and John healing a lame man at the temple gate. Hollar, known for his precise and detailed style, captures the grandeur of the temple's colonnade, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures of Peter and John tending to the man. The etching, now held at the Rijksmuseum, showcases Hollar's mastery in translating a biblical scene into a visually compelling and historically accurate representation.
