"Willibrord verkondigt het geloof op Walcheren, 695," created in 1840 by Dutch artist Johann Wilhelm (I) Kaiser, depicts a scene from the life of Saint Willibrord, a missionary who is credited with converting the Frisians to Christianity. The drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Willibrord preaching to a crowd of people, with a figure lying prone in the foreground. The image evokes a sense of drama and urgency, capturing the moment when the religious message was first brought to Walcheren. The use of grey tones further amplifies the solemnity of the scene, highlighting the historical and religious significance of the moment.
