This 18th-century print by Christoffel van Sichem titled *Taferelen uit het Oude Testament* depicts scenes from the Old Testament. Each vignette illustrates a specific story, accompanied by a short caption in Dutch. The print is an example of the popular genre of biblical illustration, which flourished in the Netherlands. It's likely this print was intended for a devotional audience and served as a visual aid for understanding key biblical narratives. The detailed engravings, while small, are characteristic of Sichem's meticulous style and his mastery of line.
