Aanbidding der herders 1625 - 1635

This is a small print, an etching, of the Adoration of the Shepherds. Pieter Serwouters created this artwork between 1625 and 1635. The artwork depicts a scene where shepherds are gathering around the newborn Jesus, with the Virgin Mary and Joseph in the background. The print is part of a larger work with accompanying text, which highlights its devotional purpose. This print was made for a book that explained the Christian faith in the 17th century. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam is where this print is located.
