Schommelend kind 1618 - 1655

"Schommelend kind" (Swinging Child) is an etching by Flemish artist Cornelis Schut. Created between 1618 and 1655, the work features a group of three cherubs. One is swinging from a rope while another cherub holds the rope and a third cherub sits on a ledge, watching the scene unfold. The etching is a fine example of Schut's mastery of the medium and his skill at capturing the playful innocence of childhood. "Schommelend kind" is currently part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it is on display as part of the museum's collection of Dutch and Flemish art.
