Aanbidding der engelen 1744 - 1781

"Aanbidding der engelen" (Adoration of the Angels), created between 1744 and 1781 by Jean Baptist Leprince, is a brown ink drawing depicting a scene of angelic worship. The work features a standing woman in a long robe, a kneeling angel with outstretched wings, and two cherubic figures in the center. The composition emphasizes the celestial nature of the event, set against a background of clouds and foliage. The drawing's delicate lines and careful shading showcase Leprince's skill as a draftsman, creating a harmonious and devotional atmosphere. This piece is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection and exemplifies Leprince's focus on religious themes in his artistic practice.
