"De onbarmhartige dienaar laat zijn schuldenaar gevangen zetten" is a 17th-century engraving housed at the Rijksmuseum. It depicts a scene of injustice as a man is being dragged away by guards, representing the parable of the unforgiving servant in the New Testament. The detailed scene showcases the artist's skill in conveying the stark contrast between the power of the unforgiving servant and the helplessness of the debtor. This print, likely created for a book or publication, provides a glimpse into the visual culture of the Dutch Golden Age and its interpretation of biblical stories.
