Besnijdenis c. 1570 - 1631

"Besnijdenis" is a 17th century engraving by the Monogrammist HSD, depicting the biblical scene of the Circumcision of Jesus. The scene is framed by an ornate border with a Latin inscription. The print likely comes from a larger book, possibly a Bible or a devotional text, indicating its use for religious instruction. The artist's identity remains unknown, identified only by the monogram "HSD." This small print exemplifies the detailed and elaborate style of engraving popular during this period.
