Varende engelen met het Christuskind 1825 - 1883

Theodoor Schaepkens’ "Varende engelen met het Christuskind," a delicate black and white etching, depicts a scene from the bible, showing a group of angels rowing a boat across a body of water, carrying the Christ child. This small, but detailed, artwork showcases the artist's skill in depicting the movement of the figures and the gentle texture of the water. It is a beautiful example of Schaepkens’ skill in etching and a testament to his religious devotion. The artwork is part of the permanent collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
