Interieur van Doopsgezinde kerk Bij 't Lam tijdens de bediening van de doop 1780 - 1790

This engraving by Cornelis Brouwer, dated 1780-1790, depicts a baptism ceremony in the Mennonite church in Amsterdam. The scene shows a large gathering of people seated in the church, while a minister stands on the pulpit, giving a sermon. The elaborate interior of the church, with its high ceilings and galleries, is clearly visible. The engraving is a good example of the type of artwork that was popular in the Netherlands during the 18th century, which often depicted scenes of everyday life. The detailed depiction of the church interior, the attendees, and the ceremony itself offers a glimpse into the religious practices of the Mennonite community in Amsterdam during this period.
