This anonymous engraving, titled "Abraham en de drie engelen," depicts a scene from the Bible, where Abraham welcomes three angels, who are disguised as men, into his home. The scene is set outdoors, with a tree and a house in the background. Abraham, an elderly man with a long beard, is seated at a table with the three angels. He is offering them food and drink. The angels are depicted with wings and halos, suggesting their divine nature. The engraving, which measures 201 mm in height and 251 mm in width, is a fine example of the detailed and expressive style of 16th-century Dutch engraving. It can be found at the Rijksmuseum.
