Maria aanbidt het Christuskind 1694 - 1756

"Maria aanbidt het Christuskind" is a print made by Dutch artist John (II) Faber between 1694 and 1756. The print depicts the Virgin Mary kneeling in prayer before the infant Christ, a popular subject in religious art. Faber's rendition is characterized by its detailed depiction of the figures and the use of chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and drama. The print would have been intended for private devotion and would have appealed to a wide audience of religious viewers. The print is a fine example of the Rococo style, which emerged in the early 18th century.
