Christuskind als Salvator Mundi 1754

"Christuskind als Salvator Mundi," a 1754 engraving by Pieter van Bleeck, depicts a cherubic figure standing on a snake with a halo and a globe in his right hand. The piece is an example of religious art, specifically depicting the Christ Child as the "Savior of the World," a traditional theme in Christian art. The engraving's relatively small size, 356 mm x 253 mm, suggests it was likely intended for private devotion or as a part of a collection.
