Naakt kind met druiventros 1630 - 1652

This etching, "Naakt kind met druiventros", created between 1630 and 1652 by Pieter van Avont, depicts a nude child holding a bunch of grapes. The child is depicted in a naturalistic pose, with careful attention paid to the details of the body, such as the folds of skin. The image is a study of human form and is a good example of the work of this Dutch Golden Age artist. The print, which is housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, is a relatively small work measuring just 103 mm in height and 67 mm in width.
