Kind met vleugels probeert te vliegen 1590 - 1624

"Kind met vleugels probeert te vliegen" is a 17th-century engraving by Boëtius Adamsz. Bolswert, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The artwork depicts a woman with wings, yearning to fly, while a small angel ascends into the heavens above a seascape. The scene is a visual representation of Psalm 55:6, "Oh that I had wings like a dove! Then would I fly away and be at rest." This engraving is a fine example of Baroque art and the use of religious imagery in the 17th century.
