This engraving by Charles van Boeckel, titled *Heilige Martinianus van Caesarea als kluizenaar*, depicts Saint Martin of Tours, a 4th-century bishop, as a hermit. The engraving, created after 1594, showcases Martin seated on a rocky outcrop, surrounded by baskets and a barrel. He is shown in prayer, as a shipwrecked vessel can be seen in the background. The inscription in Latin translates to "He offers the first fruits to God and in solitude, Martin departs. They give a dolphin to bring him through the water." This engraving, measuring 145 mm in height and 180 mm in width, highlights the importance of faith and the power of prayer in navigating life's challenges.
