Tegenspoed wordt door God ondersteund 1679

"Tegenspoed wordt door God ondersteund" (Adversity is Supported by God) is an etching by Gaspar Bouttats, created in 1679. The artwork, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, depicts a man standing in a room, raising a glass as though toasting. The scene is set in an oval frame, with a landscape visible behind the man. The title, text, and accompanying imagery suggest a moral message about overcoming adversity. Bouttats, a prolific engraver, is known for his detailed illustrations and emphasis on religious themes. This small etching, despite its size, is a powerful example of his work.
