This 1697 etching, titled "Engel maant apostel Filippus naar het zuiden te gaan," depicts an angel directing the apostle Philip to travel south. This scene is likely inspired by the biblical book of Acts, chapter 8, which recounts Philip's missionary journey to the Ethiopian eunuch. The artist, who remains anonymous, captures the moment of divine instruction with dramatic detail. The angel's outstretched hand and the apostle's listening pose create a compelling narrative. The print, measuring 121 mm by 80 mm, showcases the artist's ability to depict both human and divine figures with dramatic clarity.
