Drie Maria's bij het graf c. 1590 - 1637

"Drie Maria's bij het graf" is a 17th-century etching by Egbert van Panderen, a Dutch artist known for his religious works. The image depicts the biblical scene where three women, including Mary Magdalene, arrive at the tomb of Jesus Christ and encounter an angel. Van Panderen's detailed style and the dramatic use of light and shadow create a sense of awe and mystery, reflecting the solemnity of the event. This small etching (134 mm x 91 mm), now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a powerful testament to the artist's skill in conveying religious narratives.
