"Vier soldaten bewaken het graf van Christus" (Four Soldiers Guarding the Tomb of Christ) is a 1781 etching by German artist Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki (1726-1801). The artwork depicts a scene from the Bible, in which Roman soldiers stand guard at the tomb of Jesus Christ. The scene takes place in a wooded area, with trees surrounding the soldiers. Chodowiecki's use of line and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism in the piece. The etching is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
