One engraving, prefacing a sermon of Jesper Rasmussen Brochmand, belongs to this second series of engravings. The contribution analyzes this specific image, detailing its visual distribution of elements before turning to its portrayal of grief. This portrait involves a complex strategy and engagement with the theological language-use of the sermon
