Dutch Bible Scenes - 18th Century Engraving The Israelites Crossing The Jordan
Description
A fine 18th Century engraving showing the Israelites crossing the river Jordan. This is a very striking engraving with the middle ground figures swathed in shadow from the large items they are carrying. This engraving was delineated by Gerard Hoet (1648-1733) and sculpted by C. Huibertz (dates unknown). The engraving has an inscribed lower edge saying the title of the piece in six different languages and the Bible verses to which it refers. The artist has signed in plate. On wove.Condition
The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration. The original plate lines are in tact. There is a crease to the lower left edge and centre of the page and a tear in the centre at the lower edge.
