Christoffel van (II) Sichem's engraving, "Christuskind tussen bordurende vrouwen," depicts a scene with five women seated and embroidering, while two angels hold a crown above them. This artwork, dating back to 1617-1658, showcases the artist's meticulous detail and expressive use of linework. The composition, framed within an architectural setting, suggests a moment of quiet contemplation and devotion, highlighting the importance of faith and spiritual practice in daily life. This small-scale work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates Sichem's expertise in creating intimate and evocative scenes.
