"Ongelovige Tomas" (Doubting Thomas) is an etching by Cornelis van Dalen I, created sometime between 1612 and 1702. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts the biblical story of Thomas, who doubted the resurrection of Christ. The image depicts Christ, with a wound on his side, appearing to Thomas, who is reaching out to touch the wound for confirmation. This powerful scene highlights the theme of faith and doubt.
