Mathilde est prisonnière / Mathilde wordt gevangen 1833 - 1856

This 1833-1856 hand-colored lithograph, titled "Mathilde est prisonnière / Mathilde wordt gevangen" (Mathilde is a prisoner / Mathilde is captured), created by artists Glenisson & Van Genechten, depicts a scene from a story about Mathilde and Malek-Adhel. The image shows a woman, presumably Mathilde, being dragged onto a boat while a man, likely Malek-Adhel, stands to the right. The scene is filled with drama and a sense of urgency. The lithograph is a fine example of 19th-century printmaking and its ability to tell a story through visual narrative.
