Hebreeuwse priesters op een sokkel 1708

This etching by Dutch artist Jan Goeree, created in 1708, depicts two Hebrew priests in elaborate robes standing on a pedestal. The scene is part of a larger series titled "Antiquities of the Sacred Hebrews," which aimed to illustrate the religious practices and ceremonies of ancient Hebrews. Goeree's intricate detail captures the ceremonial objects, including a sacrificial bull, a lamb, and a variety of religious vessels, all of which hold significance within the context of Hebrew ritual. The composition, with its emphasis on architectural elements and detailed figures, is characteristic of 18th-century Dutch engravings.
