"Het viertal Evangelieschryvers" (The Four Gospel Writers), created by A. Robyn between 1715 and 1813, is an etching housed in the Rijksmuseum. The print depicts the four evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John in individual circular frames, each holding a scroll or writing an inscription. They are surrounded by their symbolic animals: the angel, lion, ox, and eagle. The print is a classic example of Dutch devotional art, emphasizing the importance of the Gospels and the stories of Jesus Christ.
