Odysseus krijgt een aalmoes van een van zijn bedienden 1632 - 1633

"Odysseus krijgt een aalmoes van een van zijn bedienden" (Odysseus Receives Alms from one of his Servants), an etching by Theodoor van Thulden from 1632-1633, depicts a scene from Homer's Odyssey. In the foreground, a woman, likely a servant, extends her hand towards a cloaked Odysseus, who, disguised and unrecognized, receives alms from her. The classical architectural setting and the presence of a reclining dog further enrich the scene, adding to the visual narrative of the piece. The etching is notable for its detailed rendering of the figures and the dramatic use of light and shadow, which enhance the emotional impact of the scene.
