This etching, "Abraham verwelkomt de drie engelen" (Abraham Welcomes the Three Angels) was created in 1607 by Italian artist Giovanni Lanfranco (1582-1647). The scene depicts a moment from the Book of Genesis where Abraham kneels before three angels who have come to visit him. The composition features dramatic figures and a landscape with rolling hills, which are typical of Lanfranco's style. The etching was part of a series of prints depicting biblical scenes and was likely intended to be a devotional work.
