Allegorische figuur met lam en wezens van de vier evangelisten 1747

This 1747 etching by an anonymous artist depicts an allegorical figure representing the New Testament, with a lamb and creatures representing the four evangelists. The central figure stands on a cloud with a book in her hand, signifying the word of God, and a palm branch in her other hand, representing peace. Above her, the four evangelists are depicted as angels in circles. This artwork is a good example of religious imagery in art, utilizing symbolic representations to convey biblical stories and themes. The etching is part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam, and is a small, intimate piece, measuring just 132 mm in height and 70 mm in width.
