Afscheid van de drie bedienden 1574

"Afscheid van de drie bedienden" (Farewell of the Three Servants), a 1574 engraving by the Flemish artist Hieronymus Wierix, depicts a biblical scene where three servants bid farewell to a woman, possibly the Virgin Mary. The work is characteristic of Wierix's detailed style, with intricate lines capturing the figures' expressions and drapery. The scene is set in a courtyard, with a glimpse of a building in the background, adding depth to the composition. The inscription below the image, written in Latin, further enhances the artwork's religious context and provides a visual interpretation of the biblical verse. This engraving exemplifies Wierix's mastery of the printmaking technique and his ability to convey narrative through detailed imagery.
