"Ghebedt des Avonts / Oeffeninghen des Morgens," a black and white print created by the artist van der Haeghen, depicts a central image of Jesus Christ on the cross. The artwork is a religious image with a devotional purpose, likely created for personal reflection and prayer. It includes a scene of a person praying in front of a tombstone, along with a small chapel, skulls, and a crucifix. The detail of the figures, the ornate border, and the inscription in Dutch make it a visually captivating representation of the crucifixion, combining text and imagery for a powerful message. The piece, currently held in the Rijksmuseum, was likely created sometime between 1700 and 1865.
