This anonymous engraving, "De ongelovige Thomas", depicts the biblical scene of the Doubting Thomas, as described in the Gospel of John. In the center of the composition, Jesus Christ appears to Thomas, who is kneeling and touching the wounds on Jesus' side. The scene is set within a complex frame, featuring intricate ornamentation and winged figures. The inscription "Sanctus Ioannes, Cap. 20" indicates the source of the scene. The engraving, which is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, was likely created in the Netherlands during the late 16th or early 17th centuries.
