"Saul und die Hexe von Endor" is a drawing by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, now housed in the Städel Museum. The work depicts a scene from the Old Testament in which King Saul seeks out a witch of Endor to conjure the spirit of the prophet Samuel. Rembrandt’s dynamic hatching and cross-hatching techniques bring the scene to life, emphasizing the tension and drama of the biblical narrative.
