Christus predikt over het gebed 1629

Christoffel van (II) Sichem's engraving *Christus predikt over het gebed* (1629) depicts Jesus teaching his disciples about prayer. In the center of the scene, Jesus stands at the forefront of the group, surrounded by his disciples, who all seem to listen intently. The scene is likely set in a room or hall, and a candlestick, three circular medallions, and a window are featured in the background. The artist utilized the technique of etching, which is clearly visible through the use of fine lines and cross hatching to create the various tones and textures. *Christus predikt over het gebed* is a small-scale artwork, measuring just 102 mm in height and 74 mm in width. It is held in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
