Maria met Kind 1664

This 1664 etching by Noël Coypel, entitled *Maria met Kind* (Mary with Child), depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ child. The scene is presented within an oval frame, emphasizing the intimate and devotional nature of the subject matter. The delicate lines and shading in the artwork create a sense of softness and tenderness, typical of Baroque-era etchings. This piece, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Coypel's ability to capture the emotional bond between mother and child in a deeply moving way.
