Buste van een onbekende man met kind (versie 1) 1758 - 1808

This etching by Dutch artist Christina Chalon, titled "Buste van een onbekende man met kind (versie 1)," depicts a man and a child in profile within a circular frame. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, dates from between 1758 and 1808. The delicate lines and subtle shading evoke a sense of intimacy between the two subjects. This small-scale work demonstrates Chalon's mastery of etching, a technique popular in the 18th century.
