"H. Johannes en een kerkvader" (Saint John and a Church Father) is a 17th century etching by Antoine Garnier. The artwork depicts Saint John, a prominent figure in the New Testament, engaged in conversation with an unidentified Church Father. Garnier's detailed etching captures the figures' flowing drapery and the depth of their interaction, with their faces showing deep concentration. This work is a fine example of the meticulous technique and religious subjects popular in 17th century printmaking.
