"Christus en de vrouw van Kanaän" is a 18th-century etching by Gabriel Huquier. The image depicts the biblical story of the Canaanite woman, who begs Jesus to heal her daughter. It is a detailed and emotive scene with a strong sense of drama. The figures are drawn with great skill and precision, and the composition is well-balanced. The print is a fine example of Huquier's mastery of the etching technique, which was popular in 18th-century France. It is also a testament to the enduring power of biblical stories to inspire artists. This etching is part of a larger series, and it is held in the Rijksmuseum collection.
