De Israëlieten en de Moabitische vrouwen 1617

Nicolaes de Bruyn's "De Israëlieten en de Moabitische vrouwen" (1617) is a detailed black and white drawing depicting a biblical scene from the Book of Numbers. This print illustrates the story of the Israelites who are seduced by the Moabite women, leading to their downfall through idolatry and sin. De Bruyn's skillful depiction of the scene, filled with numerous figures in a lush forest setting, reveals the artist's adeptness at portraying the drama and emotions of the biblical story. The print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a valuable glimpse into De Bruyn's artistic style and his engagement with biblical narratives.
