This etching, *Abraham en de koning van Sodom* (Abraham and the King of Sodom) by Pieter van der (I) Borcht (1545-1608) is a detailed depiction of a biblical scene where Abraham receives a king and his army, a moment often interpreted as Abraham offering a gift to King Sodom as a gesture of peace. The work exhibits a meticulous and realistic portrayal of both figures and landscapes, characteristic of the late 16th-century Northern Renaissance style. The etching, located in the Rijksmuseum, measures 186 mm in height and 247 mm in width.
