This 1623 etching by an anonymous artist depicts Hendrik Daniels Slatuis, a former preacher from Bleyfwyck, Netherlands. The image shows Slatuis in chains and shackles, likely a punishment for his beliefs, and it serves as a visual representation of the persecution of religious minorities in 17th century Europe. The etching's detailed rendering and realistic portrayal make it a significant piece of historical art, offering a glimpse into the social and religious conflicts of the time. This print is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
