Straf van Haman before 1566

"Straf van Haman" is an etching by Cornelis Bos, a Dutch artist from the 16th century. The image shows a man, Haman, hanging on a gallows, a scene from the biblical story of Esther. This small, detailed etching, measuring only 98 mm high and 54 mm wide, is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The work illustrates a popular theme in art of the time, depicting the consequences of evil deeds. The etching likely dates from before 1566, a year before Bos's death.
