H. Agatha 1615 - 1676

Theodor Matham's etching "H. Agatha" depicts the saint, known for her martyrdom, standing in an architectural setting. A cherub above her holds a palm branch symbolizing victory over death, while Agatha carries a plate with her breasts, a reference to her torture. The etching, created in 1615-1676, showcases the artist's skill in capturing detail and the dramatic narrative of the saint's story. This print is now in the Rijksmuseum, offering viewers a glimpse into 17th-century Dutch art and religious imagery.
