De heilige Franciscus en Jakobus de Meerdere voor Maria met het Christuskind 1686 - 1748

This etching, created by Giovanni Girolamo Frezza between 1686 and 1748, depicts a scene of religious devotion. Saint Francis of Assisi kneels in prayer before the Virgin Mary, who holds the Christ Child. Saint James the Greater stands behind Mary, holding a staff, and a cherub looks on. The figures are rendered in a naturalistic style with careful attention to drapery and anatomy, characteristic of Frezza's work in the Baroque period. The artwork exemplifies the focus on religious subjects common in 17th and 18th century art, portraying the reverence and piety associated with these figures.
