Book Title: Nette Afbeeldingen der eygene dragten van alle geestelijke vrouwen en nonnenorders; Nevens een korte Aantekening van haar begin, voortgang en bevestiging. ... / Adrien Schoonenbeek.

Author: Schoonebeek, Adriaan, ca. 1660-1714

Image Title: Martha of Bethany

Description: This etched print shows Martha of Bethany with what is presumably a cleaning instrument, perhaps a duster. This instrument alludes to the story of Jesus’ visit to her and her sister, Mary, when she became frustrated because Mary insists on adoring Jesus instead of helping her with the household tasks. She is the patron saint of Cenobites, Clerks, and Hosts.
