"Heilige Willibrord" is a 1648 engraving by an anonymous artist depicting Saint Willibrord, the first archbishop of Utrecht. Willibrord stands in a prominent position, holding a staff topped with a crucifix. He is clothed in a bishop's vestments and appears to be blessing the city of Utrecht, which is shown in the background. The engraving's inscription identifies Willibrord as the "first archbishop of Utrecht" and notes that his feast day is November 7. This small, detailed work likely served as a devotional object, reminding viewers of the saint's importance to the city and its religious history.
