"Geestelijke en een kind bij een dode" ("Cleric and a Child by a Dead Man") is a 1794 etching by Dutch artist Reinier Vinkeles (1741-1816). The piece depicts a somber scene with a cleric kneeling beside a deceased man while a young child watches. The composition is dominated by the figures, their sorrow palpable. The dramatic landscape, a rocky shore with a calm sea and distant islands, serves as a backdrop to this poignant moment. The etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Vinkeles' skill in capturing emotional depth and depicting human vulnerability.
