This etching by French artist Abraham Bosse, titled "Izebel door demonen afgevoerd" (Jezebel Led Away by Demons) from 1635, depicts the biblical story of Jezebel's downfall. The scene portrays the queen being dragged to hell by demons while above, God watches from a heavenly cloud. The dramatic composition, with its fiery underworld and divine judgment, reflects the common artistic themes of 17th-century Baroque art. This work exemplifies Bosse's mastery of etching and his ability to depict biblical narratives with powerful imagery. The work is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
