This small engraving titled *Sterfbed van de Heilige Hyacinthus van Polen* depicts the death of Hyacinth of Poland, a Polish Saint. The engraving, created between 1595 and 1600, was made by Johann Sadeler I, a renowned engraver known for his detailed and expressive works. The scene shows Hyacinth lying in bed with a halo above his head, surrounded by several figures, including a bishop and a monk. The engraving was likely intended to be used as a devotional print for Catholic communities.
