Kind zit in prieel en zingt bij zonsopkomst 1789

"Kind zit in prieel en zingt bij zonsopkomst" (Child sits in a bower and sings at sunrise), an etching by Dutch artist Barent de Bakker, depicts a serene scene of a young boy sitting in a gazebo overlooking a bustling farm landscape. The scene takes place at sunrise, as evidenced by the golden light in the sky and the birds in flight. The composition of the etching, with its emphasis on the tranquility of nature, is characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age. This small etching, measuring only 165 mm in height and 104 mm in width, is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
