Rachab 1588 - 1595

"Rachab" is an engraving by Jan (II) Collaert created between 1588 and 1595. The artwork depicts the biblical figure of Rahab, a prostitute who aided the Israelite spies during their reconnaissance of Jericho. The print features a detailed rendering of Rahab's figure, with her clothing and features rendered with precision. In the background, a cityscape with buildings, including a church, is depicted, creating a sense of depth and context. This engraving, now held at the Rijksmuseum, showcases Collaert's ability to capture both the human form and architectural details with meticulous detail.
