In tegenspoed is God een toeverlaat 1679

This 1679 etching by Gaspar Bouttats, titled "In tegenspoed is God een toeverlaat", depicts a man in a garden setting, surrounded by figures who appear to be soldiers. The inscription surrounding the main scene reads: "In Adversity God is a Refuge", suggesting a religious theme. The artwork's small dimensions, 143 mm x 88 mm, contribute to its intimate and focused narrative. This piece, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Bouttats' skill in creating intricate detail within a limited space, showcasing the artistic and devotional practices of 17th century Dutch culture.
