This etching, created in 1721 by Dutch artist Jacob Folkema, depicts a woman kneeling in prayer beneath a large tree. In the distance, a chariot drawn by four horses ascends into the heavens, representing a deity or a celestial being. The detailed landscape and the woman's posture suggest a sense of devotion and contemplation. This work exemplifies Folkema's skill in capturing the human figure and creating a visually captivating composition. The etching, titled "Biddende vrouw in de natuur" (Praying woman in nature), is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
