Kind schuilt voor onweer in een grot 1628

"Kind schuilt voor onweer in een grot" (Child takes shelter from a storm in a cave) is an etching created in 1628 by Dutch artist Christoffel van (II) Sichem. The artwork depicts a child taking refuge in a cave as a storm approaches. An angel descends from the sky, radiating light and offering protection, while the child kneels in prayer. This small print, measuring just 83 mm in height and 53 mm in width, is a poignant portrayal of faith and hope in the face of adversity, and is an excellent example of Sichem's skillful use of etching to depict emotional depth. It is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
