Figuren voor een altaar waaraan een godin verschijnt 1749 - 1817

This etching by François Denis Née depicts a scene from the Old Testament. It is one of a series of prints illustrating the Book of Judges, specifically the story of the Israelites' request for a king. In this particular scene, the people implore the goddess Debora to send a king to rule over them. Née uses a dynamic composition to show the Israelites' supplication and a sense of divine power radiating from Debora, who is surrounded by clouds and a cherub. The etching is considered a fine example of Née's work, which often focused on religious subjects. The etching is now in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
