De profetieën van Amos 1603 - 1728

This black chalk and red chalk drawing, entitled "De profetieën van Amos," is a study for a larger painting that depicts the prophet Amos. The work is anonymous and dates from 1603 to 1728. The drawing features Amos, a biblical prophet known for his prophecies of doom, in a scene with a lion and a bull, possibly referencing a passage from the Book of Amos. The drawing is a preparatory study for a larger work, reflecting the artist's process in creating a more finished composition. The work is held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
