Engel met lans en spijkers 1639 - 1670

This etching, created by Petrus Clouwet between 1639 and 1670, depicts an angel holding a spear and nails. The angel, rendered with meticulous detail, stands on a pedestal with its wings spread out behind it. The artist's use of hatching and cross-hatching techniques creates a sense of depth and volume, emphasizing the angel's form. This piece is a fine example of Clouwet's ability to translate religious themes into compelling visual narratives, reflecting the artistic trends of the 17th century in the Netherlands.
