Kind rijdend op een hert bij fontein met engel 1628

This 1628 engraving by Christoffel van (II) Sichem, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a man riding a deer towards a fountain where an angel stands. The detailed etching, characterized by its fine lines and shading, captures the movement of the deer and the figure's tense posture. The dramatic scene, likely inspired by a biblical or mythological narrative, exemplifies Sichem's skilled use of line and detail, common to the Dutch Baroque style.
