Maria met Kind 1600 - 1667

Michel Lasne's etching, *Maria met Kind* (1600-1667), depicts the Virgin Mary tenderly holding the Christ Child. This detailed and delicate print showcases the artist's mastery of line work and shading, creating a sense of depth and intimacy. The work is set within an oval frame, creating a sense of formality and highlighting the importance of the subject matter. The inscription around the frame identifies the work as a dedication, likely to a prominent figure. *Maria met Kind* is a prime example of 17th century Dutch printmaking, characterized by its meticulous detail and religious themes.
