Bybelsche figuuren, des Ouden Testaments 1739 - 1786

"Bybelsche Figuuren, des Ouden Testaments," a series of illustrations by Jan van Lee, depicts scenes from the Old Testament. The six small illustrations, printed in 1739-1786, are organized in rows, with each scene numbered and accompanied by text written in Dutch. The artwork likely served as a devotional aid, illustrating biblical stories for a broader audience. Each vignette depicts a dramatic moment from the Old Testament, characterized by vivid imagery and detailed figures. The artwork's combination of text and illustration would have been common in the 18th century and is a great example of religious art.
