This engraving by Cornelis Galle I, titled "Christuskind met passiesymbolen" (Christ Child with Passion Symbols), depicts the youthful Christ surrounded by instruments of his Passion, such as the crown of thorns, nails, and the cross. A rooster, a symbol of betrayal, is placed on a pedestal at the left side of the image, while the instruments of Christ's suffering are depicted on the right. The image is a powerful reminder of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and its intricate details highlight the historical and symbolic significance of the Passion of Christ.
