Filip døber ætioperdronningen Kandakes skatmester 1572

Maarten van Heemskerck's "Filip døber ætioperdronningen Kandakes skatmester" from 1572 depicts the biblical scene of the baptism of the Ethiopian eunuch by Philip. The drawing, created in pen and brown ink, shows the eunuch kneeling before Philip, who is about to pour water over his head. The scene is set in a landscape with a cart and a group of people riding horses in the background. The artist's masterful use of line creates a sense of movement and depth, showcasing the religious event in a captivating way. The drawing is a testament to van Heemskerck's skill as a draughtsman and his interest in biblical subjects.
