"Engel met de beurs van Judas en het zwaard van Petrus," a c. 1581-1645 etching by Flemish artist Karel van Mallery, depicts a winged angel holding Judas’ bag of coins and Peter's sword. This detailed engraving, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of van Mallery's work, showcasing his skilled rendering of both the angel's anatomy and the intricate details of the objects they hold. The etching’s Latin inscription references the betrayal of Jesus and the denial of Peter, reflecting the tumultuous period of religious upheaval and the ongoing Reformation.
