Engel die over een slapend kind waakt 1843

"Engel die over een slapend kind waakt" (Angel watching over a sleeping child), a lithograph by Bernard Romain Julien created in 1843, depicts a serene scene of a guardian angel watching over a sleeping child. The angel, with wings outstretched, leans over the child, gently touching their head. The soft, delicate lines and shading create a sense of tenderness and peace. The work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Julien's skill in capturing the quiet beauty of faith and the innocence of childhood.
