Johannes de Doper in de woestijn 1513

"Johannes de Doper in de woestijn" is a 1513 engraving by Dutch artist Lucas van Leyden (1494-1533) and is currently held in the Rijksmuseum. The print depicts John the Baptist in the wilderness, with a lamb at his feet. The composition uses detailed hatching lines to create a sense of volume and texture, a characteristic of Northern Renaissance engravings.
