Gelijkenis van de talenten 1767 - 1780

This drawing by Bernhard Schreuder, titled "Gelijkenis van de talenten," depicts a scene from the biblical parable of the talents. The composition centers on three figures, two standing before a seated man, with a glimpse of a crowd beyond an archway in the background. The use of brown washes creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, adding to the drama of this religious allegory. This work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a small but impactful example of Schreuder's skill in drawing, created in the final years of his life.
