Catechisatie 1863

"Catechisatie" is an etching by Eberhard Cornelis Rahms, created in 1863. The artwork depicts a scene of religious instruction within a church. The etching showcases the detailed and delicate lines characteristic of Rahms' style, capturing the solemn atmosphere of the gathering. The scene portrays a group of children listening intently to a figure at the front, possibly a priest or teacher, while a group of women observe in the background. The composition's emphasis on the seated figures, their attentive expressions, and the architectural details of the church interior highlights the importance of religious education in 19th-century society.
