Achior wordt aan een boom gebonden 1601

Gerrit Pietersz's "Achior wordt aan een boom gebonden" (1601) is a pen-and-ink drawing depicting the biblical story of Achior, a general of the Ammonites, who was captured by the Israelites and bound to a tree. The drawing shows Achior standing naked, his hands tied behind his back, as a soldier prepares to tie him to a tree. This drawing is a rare example of the artist’s work and offers insight into his style and mastery of anatomical detail. It is held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
