Ruth en Boaz Possibly 1655 - 1702

"Ruth en Boaz" is an etching depicting a scene from the Book of Ruth in the Bible. Created by an anonymous artist sometime between 1655 and 1702, the artwork portrays the moment when Boaz, a wealthy landowner, discovers Ruth, a Moabite woman, gleaning in his fields. The scene is set in a rural landscape with a field of wheat in the background. The figures are depicted in a realistic style, with detailed clothing and expressions. "Ruth en Boaz" is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where art enthusiasts can appreciate its historical and biblical significance.
