Huilend kind 1768 - 1796

"Huilend Kind" (Crying Child) is an etching by Dutch artist Pieter de Mare, created between 1768 and 1796, the year of his death. The small, detailed drawing, currently held at the Rijksmuseum, focuses on the face of a weeping child, captured in an expressive, almost melancholic moment. De Mare's etching showcases the artist's talent for capturing the raw emotions and details of human features, often found in Baroque and Rococo artistic styles.
