Engel drijft geblinddoekt kind met zweep voor zich uit in tredmolen 1628

This small-scale engraving by Christoffel van (II) Sichem depicts a scene of punishment. A blindfolded child is being forced to walk on a treadwheel by an angel wielding a whip. The scene is set in a room with a large wooden wheel and other machinery. The image, likely from a series of moralizing engravings, illustrates the consequences of wrongdoing, possibly serving as a warning to children. The work demonstrates the artist's skill in depicting detailed figures and objects, and its small size suggests it may have been intended for personal use or collection.
