"Allegorische voorstelling van de Godsdienst" (Allegorical Representation of Religion), an 1802-1812 etching by Dutch artist Willem van Senus, portrays the power of religion. A woman clothed in white, representing faith, steps towards an open door with a halo over her head, guided by a winged figure. Behind her, a woman shields herself with a round object. This dramatic, allegorical scene, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Senus's neoclassical style, blending religious themes with classical imagery.
