Engeltje met lint 1630 - 1652

"Engeltje met lint" (Angel with Ribbon) is an etching created by Dutch artist Pieter van Avont between 1630 and 1652. The artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, depicts a cherubic figure holding a ribbon, a symbol of purity and innocence. Van Avont, known for his detailed engravings, uses intricate lines to capture the cherub's delicate features and flowing drapery. The small dimensions, height 103 mm and width 67 mm, contribute to the intimate scale of the piece, further emphasizing the celestial subject.
