"Abraham en Melchisedek" (1555) is a black and white engraving by Cornelis Bos (1510–1556). The artwork depicts a scene from the Bible where Melchizedek, King of Salem, presents bread and wine to Abraham after a battle. It is part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum, and displays Bos’s signature detailed and naturalistic style. The engraving’s small size, 70 mm by 84 mm, highlights the detail of the work, including the rich textures of the clothing and the mountainous background.
