"Maria geeft Christus de borst" is a 19th-century etching by Dutch artist Ernst Willem Jan Bagelaar. The artwork depicts the biblical scene of the Virgin Mary breastfeeding the infant Jesus. The composition is intimate and tender, with Mary's gentle touch and the child's trusting gaze. The use of light and shadow adds to the sense of depth and emotion. This etching, created between 1798 and 1837, is a testament to Bagelaar's skill and artistry in depicting religious themes.
