Theodoor Galle's 1611 engraving, "Visioen van de maagd Maria die de heilige Dominicus een rozenkrans overhandigt", depicts the Virgin Mary presenting a rosary to Saint Dominic. The scene is set in a heavenly realm, with Mary enthroned on a cloud and surrounded by angels. Below, Saint Dominic kneels in prayer, reaching upwards to receive the rosary. The engraving is a testament to the power and importance of the rosary within the Catholic faith and serves as a visual reminder of Mary's role in the Church. This small-scale work, measuring just 90 mm wide and 150 mm high, is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
