Meet an absolute unit of an #earlymodern bible. On this painting from Wybrand Hendriks, the thick volume of the bible is the main message. The woman may be sewing, and there is a dog present about to play with a ball, but the big book being bigger than the entire dog signals: well-doing deep faith.
