Egidius Coningslo invent. [Engraved by Nicolaas de Bruyn.]
CJVißcher Excu. [n.d., 1652.]
Engraving with etching. 375 x 495mm (14¾ x 20¼"), with contemporary red ruling. Small margins.
The prophet Hosea praying by a river, with his son Jezreel fishing by his side. Behind are his unfaithful wife Gomer and two younger children, Lo-ruhamah (which translates as 'not pitied') and Lo-ammi ('not my people'). His marriage represents the breakdown in the relationship between God and the people of Israel. Originally published in a Dutch bible, 'Historiae Sacrae Veteris et Novi Testamenti', the red ruling suggests this example comes from the English edition, 'Figures of the Bible, in wich almost every history of the Holy Scriptures is discribed'.
