This etching by Manuel Salvador Carmona, titled "Portrait of one of Cornelis de Vos' children (probably), seated in a baby chair", depicts a young child in a high chair, likely from the de Vos family. Created in 1762, it showcases Carmona's skill in capturing the innocent charm of childhood, as the child sits calmly and gracefully in the chair. The detailed rendering of the child's clothing and the highchair suggests a focus on realism, a common characteristic of Carmona's work. This piece, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the enduring power of portraiture and its ability to capture the beauty of human life at its most vulnerable and precious.
