Heilig Vormsel / Andere manier voor de ceremonie van het Heilig Vormsel 1723

"Heilig Vormsel / Andere manier voor de ceremonie van het Heilig Vormsel" (Holy Confirmation/Another way for the ceremony of Holy Confirmation) is an etching by Dutch artist Bernard Picart, created in 1723. This two-part print depicts two different ceremonies of the sacrament of confirmation. The top part shows a bishop administering the sacrament to a young boy while the bottom part illustrates a different ceremony with a boy kneeling while receiving the sacrament. The print is held in the Rijksmuseum and is a fine example of Picart's detailed and informative engravings of religious practice.
