"Saul bij de heks van Endor" (Saul at the Witch of Endor) is an etching by Andrew Lawrence, created between 1718 and 1747, shortly before his death in 1747. The artwork depicts the biblical story of King Saul consulting the Witch of Endor in order to conjure the spirit of the prophet Samuel. The scene is filled with dramatic tension as demons emerge from the ground, while Saul kneels before the witch, desperately seeking answers from the spirit world. This print is a striking example of the Baroque style with its dynamic composition and emotive figures. The use of etching allows for a nuanced rendering of detail and texture, capturing the fear and desperation in Saul's face and the ethereal quality of the spirit world.
