Boaz en Ruth 1649 - 1681

"Boaz en Ruth" is an etching created by François Spierre between 1649 and 1681. The artwork depicts the biblical story of Boaz and Ruth, with the title "Boaz en Ruth" translated as "Boaz and Ruth". The etching is a scene from the Book of Ruth in the Bible, which tells the story of Ruth, a Moabite woman, who marries Boaz, a wealthy landowner. The etching shows Boaz on horseback, with Ruth walking beside him. In the background, a group of figures are working in a field, and a putto flies above the scene with a banner. The scene is depicted with meticulous detail and a sense of realism. This etching is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
