This 17th century etching, "Sleeping Child, Partly in Shadow, after Reni(?)" by an anonymous artist, depicts a sleeping child, likely an infant, in a pose reminiscent of Guido Reni's works. The print, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, uses hatching and cross-hatching to create depth and shadow, showcasing the child's delicate features and the soft texture of the bedding. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow creates a sense of tranquility and innocence, typical of Baroque art.
