Heilige Malchus van Chalcis als kluizenaar 1590 - 1619

"Heilige Malchus van Chalcis als kluizenaar" (Saint Malchus of Chalcis as a Hermit), a 17th-century engraving by Boëtius Adamsz. Bolswert, depicts the titular saint in a contemplative pose. Malchus, a Christian saint known for his devotion to solitude and prayer, is shown kneeling with his hands clasped, eyes raised to heaven, and a book and rosary at his side. This artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of the detailed realism and emotive portrayal characteristic of the Baroque style.
