Christuskind in nimbus 1617

This 1617 print by Christoffel van (II) Sichem, titled "Christuskind in nimbus," portrays a religious scene. In the center, a haloed Christ child sits in the clouds, surrounded by angels, while four figures kneel in prayer below. The detailed engraving, characteristic of the artist's style, creates a sense of reverence and devotion. The image, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the religious beliefs and artistic practices of 17th-century Dutch society.
