This engraving by Pieter van der (I) Borcht, titled "Scheiden van de schapen en de bokken / Laatste Oordeel" (Separation of the sheep and the goats / Last Judgment), depicts the biblical scene of the Last Judgment, where Christ separates the righteous from the wicked. Created between 1582 and 1613, the work portrays the scene with meticulous detail. In the foreground, Christ stands in judgment, separating the sheep, representing the righteous, from the goats, representing the wicked. The background features a cityscape, showcasing the artist's skill in depicting architectural details. This print, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a powerful testament to the artist's mastery of the engraving technique and a poignant visualization of Christian beliefs.
