Aap met een ingebakerd kindje geflankeerd door putti 1683 - 1733

This intricate etching by Bernard Picart, titled "Aap met een ingebakerd kindje geflankeerd door putti," (Monkey with a swaddled child flanked by putti) depicts a playful scene of cherubs and a monkey. The monkey holds a swaddled child on a pedestal, surrounded by two cherubs, one reaching up to the scene, the other seemingly surprised by the sight. The ornate scrollwork and ram's head beneath the figures contribute to the lively and detailed composition, characteristic of Baroque art. The etching, dating from 1683-1733, showcases Picart's mastery of line and detail, typical of the Dutch Golden Age.
