Aanbidding door de herders 1629 - 1740

"Aanbidding door de herders" (1629-1740) is an engraving by Dutch artist Christoffel van (II) Sichem (1581-1658). The print depicts the Nativity scene, with the shepherds gathered around the stable where the baby Jesus is born. Sichem's intricate detail captures the awe and wonder of the shepherds as they worship the newborn Christ. The engraving is an example of early Dutch printmaking, which often focused on religious themes and scenes from the Bible. The artwork is currently located at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
