Biecht 1670 - 1704

"Biecht" (Confession) is a 17th-century etching by Cornelis Dusart, depicting a woman confessing her sins to a priest in a dark, enclosed room. The intimate setting highlights the gravity of the scene, while the woman's somber posture and the priest's stern gaze suggest a sense of moral reckoning. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Dusart's skill in capturing human emotion and the complexities of religious devotion.
