Staand engeltje met armen naar rechts 1630 - 1652

"Staand engeltje met armen naar rechts" is an etching by Pieter van Avont, a Dutch artist active in the first half of the 17th century. This small print, measuring just 101 mm high and 61 mm wide, depicts a cherubic figure with wings, standing with its arms outstretched. The cherub's youthful, idealized form and the delicate lines of the etching contribute to the overall sense of innocence and grace, typical of Van Avont's work. This artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of the artist's skilled use of etching to capture the beauty and ethereal quality of angelic figures.
