Biddend kind 1864

"Biddend Kind" (1864) by Auguste Adrien Jouanin portrays a young child kneeling in prayer, their hands clasped together. The image, likely a lithograph given its dimensions, emphasizes innocence and faith. Jouanin, a French artist known for his genre and portrait work, captures the child's piety with delicate detail, creating a sentimental scene that resonates with viewers seeking comfort and purity. This piece, typical of 19th-century devotional art, showcases the enduring appeal of childhood imagery in religious themes.
