Maria met het kind aan de borst 1639 - 1652

"Maria met het kind aan de borst" (1639-1652) is an etching by Dutch Baroque artist Petrus Clouwet (1629-1670), depicting the Virgin Mary breastfeeding the Christ Child. Surrounding the central figures are three cherubs in the clouds. The print is a devotional image reflecting the devoutness of the period and the common theme of the Madonna and Child. Clouwet captures a sense of tenderness and devotion in the composition, which emphasizes the close relationship between mother and son, making it a compelling and moving representation of a significant religious subject.
