Tafelen der wet 1683 - 1733

"Tafelen der wet" (Tables of the Law), a 17th-century etching by Bernard Picart, features an intricate design of scrolling foliage and chains flanking two tablets inscribed with the Ten Commandments in Hebrew. The ornate frame, typical of the Baroque style, draws the viewer's eye to the central text, emphasizing the importance of the law. This print, part of a larger series, demonstrates Picart's mastery of detail and his ability to create visually engaging illustrations with religious themes.
