Maria en het Christuskind aanbeden door Cesare Alessandro Scaglia 1633 - 1673

This etching by Coenraet Waumans, created between 1633 and 1673, depicts a scene of adoration. The Virgin Mary is centrally positioned, holding the Christ Child, while a figure identified as Cesare Alessandro Scaglia kneels in reverence. The artist's use of detailed lines and shading creates a sense of realism, highlighting the solemnity of the moment. The work is a striking example of 17th-century Dutch art, with its emphasis on devotional imagery and meticulous craftsmanship. This engraving is on display at the Rijksmuseum and stands as a testament to Waumans's skill in capturing both religious fervor and individual personality.
