"Kind op schommel" (Child on a Swing) is a small silver sculpture made by Dutch artist Gijsbert Barbiers around 1822-1827. The intricate detail of the sculpture depicts a child on a swing, capturing a moment of youthful joy and innocence. This miniature artwork, measuring just 4.9 cm in length, showcases Barbiers' skill in creating realistic figures in a tiny format. The work is an example of silver sculpture, a genre popular in the 19th century. Its small size makes it a unique piece of art, perfect for a private collection.
