Engel en kind bij een zieke vrouw 1818 - 1871

"Engel en kind bij een zieke vrouw" (Angel and Child with a Sick Woman), created by Isaac Cornelis Elink Sterk between 1818 and 1871, depicts a touching scene of comfort and compassion. An angel, with outstretched hand, watches over a woman in a bed, while a young child embraces her, offering solace during illness. This artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a poignant example of Elink Sterk's skill in capturing human emotion and the power of faith. The delicate details and the artist's signature style contribute to the evocative nature of this piece.
