Monnik neemt de biecht af van een gevangene 1677 - 1701

Isaac Sarrabat's etching, "Monnik neemt de biecht af van een gevangene," depicts a monk taking the confession of a prisoner. The scene is set in a prison cell, with a small window in the back wall. The monk, dressed in a long robe, sits on a stone bench, while the prisoner kneels before him. The etching captures the solemn moment of confession, highlighting the monk's compassionate gaze and the prisoner's contrite posture. This piece exemplifies Sarrabat's skill in depicting religious scenes with psychological depth.
