Kind met een tweetand op een zeehond c. 1526 - 1606

"Kind met een tweetand op een zeehond" (Child with a Trident on a Seal) is an etching by Adam Fuchs, a German artist who died in 1606. The artwork, created between 1526 and 1606, depicts a winged cherub riding a seal while holding a trident. This etching is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection and is a prime example of Fuchs's intricate detail and masterful use of light and shadow, typical of the Northern Renaissance artistic style. The engraving's small size, 76 mm x 123 mm, highlights the meticulous craftsmanship involved.
