Maria, naaiend of bordurend in de tempel met rond haar drie engelen before 1675

This engraving, titled "Maria, naaiend of bordurend in de tempel met rond haar drie engelen," was created before 1675 by Dutch artist René Lochon (1636-1675). The print depicts the Virgin Mary seated, sewing, with three angels surrounding her. This scene, common in Baroque art, highlights Mary's devotion and the divine presence in her life. The fine detail and skillful use of light and shadow in the engraving, typical of the Baroque period, imbues the image with a sense of realism and drama. The piece is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and measures 403 mm in height and 278 mm in width.
