From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Presentation in the Temple with the Angel: Small Plate is a 1630 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, depicting Visitation, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a scene from the Bible where a baby is presented in a temple. It's an etching, which is a technique where the artist scratches a design into a metal plate. This work is interesting because it was made early in Rembrandt's career, and you can see him experimenting with light and shadow. Check out the work of artist Rembrandt van Rijn.
