This anonymous 17th-century print, "Aanbidding door de koningen," depicts the biblical scene of the adoration of the Magi. The composition features a central grouping of the Virgin Mary and Child, with three kings kneeling in reverence, offering gifts. The artist employs a detailed and intricate style to portray the scene, with strong outlines and expressive gestures. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that contrasts light and dark, adds depth and drama to the scene. This print would have been intended for a devotional audience, offering a visual representation of a key Christian story.
