Claes Jansz. Visscher's etching, "Petrus preekt in Jeruzalem" (1643 - 1646), depicts the biblical story of Saint Peter preaching to the people of Jerusalem. The scene is set on a platform, with Peter standing and gesturing towards the crowd below. The figures are drawn in a detailed and expressive style, capturing the emotions of the moment. The etching is a fine example of Visscher's work and illustrates the popular subject of religious iconography. The work is currently held in the Rijksmuseum.
