Elia ontfermt zich over de overleden zoon van de weduwe van Sarefat 1550 - 1625

"Elia ontfermt zich over de overleden zoon van de weduwe van Sarefat" (Elia comforts the dead son of the widow of Sarefat) is an engraving by Pieter Jalhea Furnius, dating from 1550 to 1625, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork depicts the biblical story of Elijah bringing a dead boy back to life, highlighting the prophet's divine power. Furnius, a Dutch artist born in 1545, employed a detailed, yet simplified style in this work. The scene unfolds in a single room, focusing on the emotional weight of the moment with dramatic use of light and shadow.
