Achab toont berouw na de vloek van Elia Possibly 1559 - 1652

This anonymous etching from the 17th century, titled “Achab toont berouw na de vloek van Elia” (Ahab Shows Repentance After the Curse of Elijah) depicts a scene from the Bible. The etching shows the prophet Elijah confronting King Ahab in the presence of his wife Jezebel, who is seen kneeling in the foreground. The scene is presented in a realistic manner, with the figures and the landscape rendered in detail. The etching is likely part of a series of illustrations on biblical stories. The work can be found in the Rijksmuseum.
