Jacob van der Heyden's 1608 etching "Religieuze leiders kaarten met de Duivel" depicts a satirical scene of religious leaders playing cards with the devil. The image is a critique of the corruption and moral failings of religious leaders, as the devil is portrayed as winning the game while the leaders are losing. This small-scale etching, measuring just 100 mm high and 142 mm wide, uses detailed linework to create a powerful visual critique of the powerful figures of the time.
