"Henricus Slatius, met hand- en voetboeien" is a 17th-century engraving by an anonymous artist depicting Hendrik Danielszoon Slatius, a Dutch religious leader who was imprisoned for heresy in 1623. The print shows Slatius standing in a prison yard with shackles on his hands and feet, surrounded by a group of people.

The inscription on the right includes an excerpt from a poem about Slatius's fate, highlighting the religious context of the artwork.
