Heilige Familie in een interieur 1725 - 1792

Aert Schouman's etching, "Heilige Familie in een interieur," depicts a scene from the Holy Family. The Virgin Mary sits holding the infant Jesus, while Joseph watches from behind. The composition is set within a simple interior, creating a sense of intimacy. The artist's skilled use of lines creates a sense of depth and texture. The work is a fine example of Schouman's mastery of etching, a popular technique in the 18th century. This piece, now held in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the artist's ability to capture the warmth and tenderness of the Holy Family.
