Christuskind helpt Jozef met zagen 1617

"Christuskind helpt Jozef met zagen" is a 1617 woodcut by Christoffel van (II) Sichem, depicting the Biblical story of the baby Jesus helping Joseph with carpentry work. The scene shows Joseph, seated on a stool, while the infant Jesus, positioned on a ladder, helps him saw a piece of wood. Two angels, with wings and halos, are assisting as well. This print is a small-scale, detailed work characteristic of the artist's style and exemplifies the Dutch Renaissance artistic approach. Now in the Rijksmuseum, it captures the scene with precision and clarity, portraying the miraculous power of the Christ child.
