"Majombe spreekt Pretioze moed in" (Majombe speaks precious courage) is an etching by Dutch artist Pieter Nolpe. This 1643 print, measuring 134mm by 110mm, depicts a scene of biblical significance, showing a dialogue between figures that could be interpreted as a depiction of the story of Judith, where she inspires the Israelites to fight against the Assyrian army. Nolpe's etching exemplifies the detailed and dramatic qualities that were popular in 17th-century Dutch art.
