"Christuskind timmert een hek" (Christ Child Builds a Fence) is a 1617 woodcut by Christoffel van (II) Sichem. The print depicts a scene of the Christ child, surrounded by angels, building a fence with tools and materials. The scene is set in a garden, with a building in the background, hinting at a domestic setting. The inclusion of the angels adds to the religious and devotional nature of the image, perhaps indicating the divine power of Christ even as a child. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
