Maria met Christuskind c. 1615 - 1623

This small, anonymous woodcut print, titled "Maria met Christuskind" (c. 1615-1623), depicts a tender moment between the Virgin Mary and the infant Christ. Housed at the Rijksmuseum, the work utilizes a limited color palette and subtle lines to create a sense of intimacy. The print's small size and intimate subject matter would have made it a popular devotional image for private use, reflecting the popularity of religious imagery in the Dutch Golden Age. The print is a testament to the skill of the anonymous artist who captured the profound bond between mother and child with simple yet evocative details.
