Moord door Abraham Boedijn en zijn dienstmaagd Klaesje Jans op hun kind, 1662 1663

Crispijn van de Passe (II) created an etching titled "Moord door Abraham Boedijn en zijn dienstmaagd Klaesje Jans op hun kind, 1662" in 1663. The artwork tells the story of a gruesome murder, and was likely commissioned as a form of broadside, a type of printed paper which included text alongside visual imagery, to spread the news and condemn the perpetrators: Abraham Boedijn and his maidservant, Klaesje Jans, for the murder of their child. This etching, now located at the Rijksmuseum, was created using the technique of etching and the resulting image is a detailed depiction of the crime scene and the individuals involved in the horrifying event.
