This 1781 engraving by Caspar Jacobsz. Philips, titled *Allegorie op het geloof* (Allegory of Faith), depicts a complex scene with allegorical figures and symbols. A central figure, representing Faith, holds a cross, while figures around her demonstrate various aspects of belief. The artist's use of detail and symbolism contributes to the powerful message of this work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum. This print, typical of the Dutch Golden Age, would have been widely appreciated by viewers, making it a significant example of Dutch art and faith.
