Maria met Kind 1881

"Maria met Kind," an 1881 etching by Henri-Charles Guérard (1846-1897), depicts the Virgin Mary cradling the Christ Child, a popular theme in religious art. The delicate lines and soft shading create a serene and intimate atmosphere. The work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, measures a modest 190 mm x 140 mm, showcasing Guérard's mastery of detail and expression within a small format. The artwork's title, "La Vierge et l'Enfant Jésus," further underscores the religious subject matter.
