This engraving by Boëtius Adamsz. Bolswert, titled *Kind schuilt voor onweer in grot* (Child seeks shelter from a thunderstorm in a cave), was created between 1590 and 1624. The print depicts a person seeking refuge in a cave from a storm while an angel flies above, suggesting a biblical scene. The detailed engraving uses light and shadow to create a sense of drama and emphasize the scene’s emotional intensity. This piece, currently held in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Dutch Renaissance engraving.
