Maria met kind en schaal met fruit 1650

"Maria met kind en schaal met fruit" is an etching by Vincent Plassard created in 1650. The artwork depicts the Virgin Mary seated, holding the infant Jesus on her lap. The scene takes place in a garden-like setting with trees and a classical column in the background. Jesus holds a bowl of fruit in his hand, signifying a symbol of the coming sacrifice. The etching is small, measuring only 158 mm in height and 134 mm in width, and exemplifies the Baroque style, popular for its dramatic use of light and shadow. This artwork is a testament to the artistic mastery of Plassard and his ability to capture the sacredness of the Virgin Mary and her child.
