Borstbeeld van een kind, naar links 1658 - 1677

This etching, titled "Borstbeeld van een kind, naar links," was created by Dutch artist Wallerant Vaillant between 1658 and 1677. It depicts a bust of a child, rendered in a realistic style characteristic of Vaillant's work. The child's face is turned slightly to the left, conveying a sense of quiet contemplation. The etching is a study in light and shadow, with the artist expertly capturing the subtle play of light across the child's features. The piece is a testament to Vaillant's skill as a draftsman and his talent for capturing the essence of his subjects, making it a compelling example of 17th-century Dutch art.
