This etching, created by Dutch artist François van Bleyswijck between 1681 and 1728, depicts the biblical story of the Adoration of the Magi. The scene shows the three wise men kneeling before the baby Jesus, offering gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Van Bleyswijck's detailed rendering of the figures, drapery, and setting, along with the use of light and shadow, creates a sense of drama and solemnity. The artwork is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
