Maria en twee jongens bij een offerzuil 1822

This 1822 engraving by Pieter Holmes depicts a scene of religious devotion, likely a frontispiece for a devotional text. The central figure, a woman clad in a long robe, stands tall before a cross and a burning incense brazier, surrounded by clouds. Two figures, possibly children, observe the scene, emphasizing the sacredness of the event. The meticulous detail and refined linework of this print are typical of the neoclassical style popular in the early 19th century.
