This etching by Dutch artist Simon Fokke depicts two scenes from the Book of Joshua. The upper scene illustrates the taking of twelve stones from the River Jordan, while the lower scene shows the Lord appearing to Joshua, who is kneeling in prayer. Fokke's detailed rendering of the figures and landscape captures the dramatic moment of Joshua's conquest of Canaan. This artwork, dating from 1791, is now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The etching is a powerful example of Dutch religious art from the 18th century.
