Oude man omarmt een jonge man 1780

"Oude man omarmt een jonge man" (1780) is an etching by Dutch artist Jan Gerard Waldorp, known for his portraiture and historical scenes. The artwork depicts a dramatic moment between a young man and an older man. The younger man, likely a convert to the faith, is being embraced by a man in a robe. Their interaction is depicted in a classicist style, with the figures set against a backdrop of classical architecture and drapery. This piece is held at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and is an example of Waldorp's talent for depicting human emotion and biblical narratives.
