Paschaviering in Egypte 1728

Jacob de Later’s etching, *Paschaviering in Egypte* (1728), depicts the Israelites celebrating Passover in Egypt. The scene, set in a simple, domestic interior, features a group of men seated around a table, partaking in the festive meal. De Later’s work is notable for its detailed depiction of the ritual elements of Passover, including the Seder plate, the unleavened bread, and the wine. The etching, now held in the Rijksmuseum, is an important example of the genre of religious art, and offers viewers insight into 18th-century Dutch depictions of Biblical narratives.
