Christ with Mary and Martha Engraving – Luke X Martha Reproved 1735
This antique engraving illustrates the biblical scene of Jesus visiting the house of Mary and Martha, from the Gospel of Luke, Chapter 10, published in 1735. The image shows Christ seated at the centre, with a radiant halo around his head, teaching calmly. At his feet sits Mary, listening attentively with a serene expression, her body leaning forward in devotion. Standing beside them is Martha, pointing towards Mary with a raised hand, expressing her frustration that her sister is not helping her with the household tasks. Behind them stand four disciples, observing the scene with engaged and thoughtful expressions.
The architectural background is composed of classical stone arches and pillars, giving depth and dignity to the setting. The scene captures the moment when Jesus gently rebukes Martha, telling her that Mary has chosen the better part by prioritising spiritual nourishment over worldly concerns.
This engraving was produced using the copper engraving technique, known for its precise lines and detailed shading, allowing for lifelike drapery folds, facial expressions, and architectural features. It was published in 1735 as part of a Bible illustration series, designed to convey the teachings of Christ through powerful visual storytelling.
The print is significant for collectors of biblical art, scholars of Christian theology, and admirers of 18th-century engraving craftsmanship. It portrays a key moral lesson about devotion, priorities, and spiritual focus, themes that remain meaningful today. The balanced composition, expressive gestures, and clarity of linework make it an impressive and meditative artwork.
Condition summary: Good condition for its age. Light even toning across the sheet with some small foxing spots mainly in the margins. No tears or repairs noted. Strong impression with crisp lines and excellent detail retention. Paper is firm and stable with ample margins.
Framing tips: This moving biblical engraving will suit a classic dark wood, black, or mahogany frame to highlight its deep tonal contrasts, combined with an off-white or antique cream mount to complement the aged paper tone. For an elegant traditional display, consider adding a gold-beaded inner frame. Use UV-protective glass to preserve the fine engraved details and prevent fading from light exposure over time.
