De Heilige Familie 17th century

"De Heilige Familie" (The Holy Family), a 17th-century drawing by Dutch artist Willem Strijcker, portrays the traditional biblical scene. The piece showcases the artist's characteristic detailed and delicate penmanship, capturing the intimate moment of Joseph, Mary, and the baby Jesus. Executed in grayscale with wash, Strijcker highlights the tenderness of the Holy Family, rendering their figures with soft, rounded contours. This work serves as a testament to Strijcker's mastery of draftsmanship and his reverence for religious themes.
