"The Little Children Being Brought to Jesus ("The 100 Guilder Print")"
by REMBRANDT Harmenszoon van Rijn, Etching and drypoint, second state of two, 278 x 388 mm
Catalogue number: Bartsch 74.
This impression of the second state of the print in the Biblioth�que Nationale, Paris, is inscribed with four quatrains Hendrick Waterloos (d. 1664) who stood close to Rembrandt in the late 1650s and 1660s. The hand-written poem treats themes that can be identified in the print: the kingdom of heaven, Christ as the ruler of all people, as a miracle-maker, as a healer.
