Oordeel van Salomo Possibly 1630 - 1702

This anonymous etching, titled “Oordeel van Salomo,” depicts the biblical story of King Solomon’s judgment. Dated to 1630-1702, the print shows King Solomon seated on a throne, while two women stand before him, arguing over a child. Solomon, known for his wisdom, orders the child to be divided in two, forcing the real mother to reveal herself. The etching, with its detailed figures and architectural setting, is an example of the Dutch Golden Age style. "Oordeel van Salomo" is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
