"Aanbidding door de herders" (1629-1740) is a woodcut by Christoffel van (II) Sichem, depicting the Adoration of the Shepherds. The scene unfolds within a humble stable, where the shepherds kneel in awe before the newborn Christ, who lies in a manger. Angels hover above, their wings outstretched in a radiant halo. This artwork, originally a part of a larger series, highlights the religious significance of the event and captures the wonder and humility of the shepherds' encounter with the divine. The use of strong lines and details in the woodcut creates a sense of depth and realism, bringing the biblical story to life.
