This 18th-century woodblock print by Isaak van der Putte is titled 't Nieuwe Testament verbeelt zig hier figuriglijk, / Voor u niewgier'ge jeugd, wel leeft het dan geduriglijk, meaning "The New Testament is depicted here figuratively, / For you curious youth, it lives then perpetually". The print features twelve separate scenes from the New Testament, each with a Dutch inscription below. The scenes are depicted in a simple, direct style, characteristic of Dutch woodblock printing of the period, with a focus on narrative clarity. These prints were likely intended for devotional purposes, aimed at educating young people about the stories of the New Testament through visually engaging images. The artwork is now part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum.
