This etching, created by Pieter de Bailliu between 1623 and 1660, depicts Saint Dominic. The saint is shown standing on a platform with a book in one hand and his other hand resting on his chest. Above him, a hand reaches down with a rosary and a cross, while a dog with a burning torch and orb sits by his feet. The image is a testament to the visual traditions of the time, combining realistic portrayal with symbolic elements, making it a significant work of religious art in the 17th century. The image is a valuable artifact for understanding the artistic styles and religious beliefs of the era. The etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the artist's skillful mastery of line and detail, providing a glimpse into the world of 17th-century Dutch art.
