Christuskind bouwt een schip 1617

"Christuskind bouwt een schip" (Christ Child Building a Ship) is an etching by Christoffel van (II) Sichem from 1617. The print depicts the Christ Child, surrounded by angels, building a ship with a hammer. This etching is typical of Sichem's work, which often featured religious scenes with detailed figures and landscapes. Sichem's work was widely collected in the 17th century, and his etchings are now housed in prominent museums, including the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where this etching is displayed.
