Stage med en ofret vædder, omgivet af muslimske mænd 1647

This anonymous etching from 1647 depicts a scene of Muslim men gathered around a ram impaled on a pole. The image, titled "Stage med en ofret vædder, omgivet af muslimske mænd," is a satirical commentary on the Islamic ritual of sacrifice, seen as barbaric and foreign by European viewers of the time. The detailed drawing of the figures, the landscape, and the sacrificial ram highlight the artist's skill and the use of etching as a medium to communicate religious and cultural biases. The work is housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
